PDA Inactive

[Guest]

How do i know if the PDA is inactive, in other words, how do i know that the
user isnt pressing any buttons or using the PDA?

Programatically that is.

Thanks

That's device-specific. Give us a list of devices and we might be able to
give you a common answer. Also, what are you trying to achieve?

Using GetIdleTime function you may retrieve the time that the system has
been idle:

see this either:

Look in the help for the C/C++ SDK. There's an example right there.
Porting it to C# is about as easy as P/Invoking ever gets. Roughly like
this...

[DllImport ("coredll.dll", SetLastError=false)]
public static extern int GetIdleTime();
