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 minutes, then i want to auto log out the user and close the application.

( I am using visual studio 2005)

Thanks in advance

Is this a Windows Forms Application ? Please describe the structure of the Application now: do you have the log-in process working as you wish ?

Yes Mr.BillWooddruff, It is Windows Forms Application, I have log-in process, I need to logout the user if application is in idle for 5 minutes

I suggest you read this CodeProject article ... even though it's from 2004, the concepts in it are still very valid ... and read the user comments:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/9104/How-to-check-for-user-inactivity-with-and-without?fid=136515&df=90&mpp=50&sort=Position&spc=Relaxed&tid=2602350

And think about what type of technique you need to use based on the author's description of the pros and cons of each technique of detecting idle time.

If you make a start implementing one of those techniques, and need some help, I'll be happy to respond, and I am sure others will, too.

But, do realize, that this is an advanced C# WinForms programming problem that will probably take you into a complex (but interesting) subject area.

Do you have any experience using WinAPI calls ?

I think it's possible you may benefit from the login "architecture" of Win Forms that I described in this response to a previous question on CP QA:
