Hi all
How to capture the idle time and show log out msg? e.g. If the system is idle for 20mins., then it needs to show log out msg and exit from windows application. If user activity occurs prior to 20mins., then reset timer again.

Solution 2

This may be what you are looking for. I have a modified version for a viewer that locks a document while the user has it open and if the viewer detects no activity it releases the lock and closes the document. It has worked very well.
