I am sure you are not going to believe this, but I can not see that code.
I do see that Lcubed was able to see it, and presumably download, copy, or
whatever, but unless there is something seriously wrong with my vision,
brain, or both I swear there is no code or link to code at
http://blog.opennetcf.com/ctacke/2004/05/19/CFApplicationIdleTimer.aspx.


A mystery??? In that today is it's birthday, I wonder if I might impose
upon you yet again.

Rdub

I swear I updated it over the weekend. At any rate, I've done it again.

Hard to believe that was 5 years ago (almost to the day).

CF Application Idle Timer

Ever want to have an application idle timer for you CF app? Maybe to
pop up a login screen, power down a peripheral or log off a network?
A recent newsgroup post prompted me to write one, and in VB of all
things. The thing that took longest was figuring out that VB.NET
doesn't actually have an application entry point and call to
Application.Run unless you modify the project settings. And this is
supposed to be easier than C#?

At any rate, the code is in the OpenNETCF Wiki. Expect a C# version
in the near term. In fact I'm going to work on a set of
IMessageFilter implementation examples, so if you have any ideas or
things you'd like to see, let me know.

Did you go back to the blog post you linked? I added it at the bottom.

Oh. Is the C# example still online anywhere?

Thanks again Chris, this code was perfectly suited to the project.

The more I use OpenNETCF, the more I wish I'd started using it
earlier.

Hi Chris,

I have a question about the code. I set up the inactivity timer on my
main form, but if I open a dialog on top of it (I use ShowDialog), the
stylus taps (or mouse clicks) are not registered and it times out as
if the user has done nothing. Is there a way to catch the stylus taps
for the application rather than just the form?

Thanks!

dialogs, you have to use the SDF version of ShowDialog (in Application2
IIRC).

The disposeForm parameter on the SDF ShowDialog also makes my code
look cleaner.

Thanks!

No idea what's happening to the changes. I just created a new entry for
it:http://blog.opennetcf.com/ctacke/2009/05/19/DetectingApplicationIdle.....

I am sure you are not going to believe this, but I can not see that
code.
I do see that Lcubed was able to see it, and presumably download, copy,
or
whatever, but unless there is something seriously wrong with my vision,
brain, or both I swear there is no code or link to code at
http://blog.opennetcf.com/ctacke/2004/05/19/CFApplicationIdleTimer.aspx.
A mystery??? In that today is it's birthday, I wonder if I might impose
upon you yet again.

Hard to believe that was 5 years ago (almost to the day).

CF Application Idle Timer
Ever want to have an application idle timer for you CF app? Maybe to
pop up a login screen, power down a peripheral or log off a network?
A recent newsgroup post prompted me to write one, and in VB of all
things. The thing that took longest was figuring out that VB.NET
doesn't actually have an application entry point and call to
Application.Run unless you modify the project settings. And this is
supposed to be easier than C#?
At any rate, the code is in the OpenNETCF Wiki. Expect a C# version
in the near term. In fact I'm going to work on a set of
IMessageFilter implementation examples, so if you have any ideas or
things you'd like to see, let me know.

Oh. Is the C# example still online anywhere?

Thanks Chris!
The C# example would be great, but the link to the wiki still does
not
work for me. Do I need to register or something to access it?

Does any one know where the link for the "CF Application Idle
Timer"
in the following article went?

It would save me having to reinvent the wheel.
Thanks!

That works great! Thanks!
The disposeForm parameter on the SDF ShowDialog also makes my code
look cleaner.

dialogs get their own message pump.  If you want the filter to work for
dialogs, you have to use the SDF version of ShowDialog (in Application2
IIRC).

Hi Chris,

I have a question about the code. I set up the inactivity timer on my
main form, but if I open a dialog on top of it (I use ShowDialog), the
stylus taps (or mouse clicks) are not registered and it times out as
if the user has done nothing. Is there a way to catch the stylus taps
for the application rather than just the form?

Thanks!
