if mouse doesnt move logoff

[stephena]

Obviousley i would need a timer but how do i get my app to logoff if the computer hasnt been touched for say 5 minutes??

I understand the:

load form1
form1.show

but how do i count the seconds since the mouse was last moved????

you'll need to use an API call to catch ALL mouse movement, not just the movement in your VB forms, and use that mouse movement capture to reset a variable that gets incremented by your timer. Then if the variable ever gets high enough, you'll know the mouse hasn't moved.
