Getting the idle time for a Form

[Florian Lutz]

Hello,

i'd like to get the idle time from an application. More specific, the
time since the user clicked on something ... i googled for it, but i
haven't found a good solution.
any ideas?

cheers,

florian

One approach is to run a windows.forms.timer and from every event handler
renew it (Enabled=false, enabled=true). When it expires you've got it.

Another approach is with message filters and applicationex. Don't know where
you googled but the archives return many results:

perfectly.
