i have windows application developed in visual studio 2005 using vb.net

i want to capture inactive time for my app only.

If the user don't use my app (which is opened already) for say 5 mins i want to auto log out the user and close the application.

But i want to capture inactivity only for my application. If user does something outside my app say open excel, or using any other app then that should not count.

Any idea how to do this ??
