Hi, i want to know if there is a way using VB to recognize if the user is idle or not...or if there isnt a direct way to do it, then maybe seeing if there are any keys pressed, or keep track of any mouse movements...thx |

You can keep track of the mouse movement. Look up the API for that. Create a timer, and reset it every time the mouse is moved a significant amount (shaking table does not count for an active user). If the timer manages to get up to 5 minutes or your value of choice -- you may assume that the user fell off the chair and is badly hurt. |

Yea set the interval of a timer to like 5 minutes and put this
