Api call to detect activity??

[mfoster]

Hi

My app is a client server app that is used in a warehouse for stock control, orders and invoicing etc.

On several occasions, the systems may be left unused whilst a member staff goes somewhere in the warehouse with a client.

What I need to to do therefore is create something that will automatically bring up the password prompt screen if there has been no key or mouse activity in my app for several minutes.

I could do something timers and boolean flags but that gets quite messy

The app is an mdi application

many thanks

Mark

If you're using NT, wouldn't it be easier just to set up a password-protected screen saver?

Hi thanks Josh

unfortunatly different employees have different access rights to the program and the program would need to verify itself who had logged back on
