Dear all
any body have an idea how to close application after a certain period of time that user didnt do any action in that period.
 
Hi!

Read on the IDLE() command in the Help. The other way is to use the windows API.

Thank you Shanker,

I tried to use IDLE() command before writing this post but it didnt work with me (may be I didnt apply it will), so I did a routine using Timer and it worked fine.

Thank you again
 
Hi!

With TIMER(), how do you determine that no keyboard & mouse activity has not taken place?

Hi!

The Windows API approach ::

Inside the Global MAP:

MODULE('WinAPI')
sjGetLastInputInfo(*LastInputInfo),BYTE,PASCAL,RAW,NAME('GetLastInputInfo')
sjGetTickCount(),LONG,PASCAL,NAME('GetTickCount')
END


Data Section of FRAME:
LastUserInput LIKE(LastInputInfo)


EVENT:Timer of FRAME:
IF sjGetLastInputInfo(LastUserInput)
Ticks# = sjGetTickCount()

LastUserInput.dwTime = Ticks# - LastUserInput.dwTime

LUI_Hrs# = INT(LastUserInput.dwTime / 3600000)
LUI_Min# = INT((LastUserInput.dwTime - (LUI_Hrs# * 3600000)) / 60000)
LUI_Sec# = INT((LastUserInput.dwTime - (LUI_Hrs# * 3600000) - (LUI_Min# * 60000) ) / 1000)
END

The LUI_Hrs#, LUI_Min# & LUI_Sec# gives you the No User Activity time.
