.net - How To Know Time For Which System Is Idle
Nov 26, 2011I'm making an application in which I'm implementing auto-monitor turn off when system is idle, i.e. when user is not interacting with the system. [URL]it does provides the componenent to know when system is idle. But when I include:
Public WM_SYSCOMMAND As Integer = &H112
Public SC_MONITORPOWER As Integer = &Hf170
<DllImport("user32.dll")> _
[code]....
It shows this error: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Form1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
Capture When A Machine Is Idle?
Jan 21, 2009Is it possible to capture when a machine is idle? I realize that a machine is never really idle, but screen savers work and power management schemes work... So, there must be a way to create an application to capture the same thing, correct?
Has any tried this or has any success capturing when a machine is idling?
Count How Long Someone Is Idle?
Jul 29, 2009Is there a way in which I can detect how long someone has been idle using a form (ie. Not clicking or entering any information into any fields/textboxes). Or would I have to implement a timer which counts this and reset it in the event handler for any entry?
View 3 RepliesIdle Duration Of An Application?
May 4, 2009I have an MDI form in VB.nEt where I have to find, if the application remains idle for 20 mins, I got to log off the logged in user. On doing RnD, I found a class that helps us do the same :- http://blog.perfectapi.com/2008/05/detecting-idle-state-in-winforms-apps/
I saved that class in my applicaiton. In my mdi form's Form Load created an instance of that class. Now I don't know how to move ahead i.e. how to find that 20 min lastActivity duration. I belive I got to trap some evcent in my mdi form and find the value of lastActivity and if that is >= 20, then logoff. But which event to trap and how, I have no clue. In the events for the from also, I didn't found any useful.

Mar 30, 2010Adding How would you detect if the user is using the computer? I want a program to detect if the user is using the computer (i.e. mouse and keyboard movements), and if the user doesn't type or move the mouse for a specific amount of time, it executes a command. Normally I would do this with the Application.Idle, but I want it to be detected throughout the system. Any starters?
View 22 RepliesWindows Service Shutting Down Cause Of Being Idle
Jun 22, 2009I've build a vb.net windows service which does nothing but ping a wcf webservice and handles sending a maintenance request to this same webservice at night time. It does both tasks using a timer event. If the service does nothing but these two things it says at startup that it's shutting down cause of being idle.

View 2 RepliesC# - Programmatically Reset Windows XP Idle Time
Feb 11, 2011Windows resets the IDLE time every time the user touches the keyboard or the mouse. My application needs to reset the IDLE time at specific moments, but how to do this programmatically.
The following does NOT reset the IDLE time using VB, C# or QT4.
- Programmatic mouse movement / click.
- Programmatic keystroke.
Somehow Windows knows these actions are simulated. How can I reset the IDLE time?
Execution Based On System Idle Status
Oct 13, 2011I am in the process of developing an application for one of my clients. I am not going into the details of the applications, but brief facts of the same. The application is divided into two tiers (actually three, but the third tier is the database (SQL SERVER) so that is not included). The top tier (or first tier) is a web application (ASP.NET) where the users shall log into the system and use the application. This web application will also access the Database directly. One important activity the users shall do is uploading excel files with various information to the server. Web Application once the upload is successful shall enter the details in the in Database about the upload along with an ID and save the excel file at a location in the server.The Second tier is a VB.NET Application which will run in the server. The application will connect the database and retrieve the list of excel file uploaded by the web application and start processing one excel file after another based on ID. The processing that will be done is very simple: read the excel file, check for certain parameters, do some calculations and insert the whole details into the database. (say some 100 records per excel file)
The server in which the VB.NET Application (Second tier) runs is hosting a serious of services and application which shall run simultaneously including the Database (SQLSERVER), web server. The Database also host tables and database for various other applications. In order to help in the smooth functioning of the system, it has been decided that the VB.NET shall do the processing activity only when the server is idle (including CPU usage is idle). I have searched the Net and found API to get the system Idle status. But the real question is how to pause the processing activity when the system switch from idle mode and continue when it is again back to idle mode. Please note that I am talking about system being idle because no other application is executing any activity except the VB.NET Application.
Low Priority Process Not Idle Although CPU Load Is High?
Mar 9, 2011I have a small problem with process priorities (Win Server 2003 Standard, 8 Core, 16GB RAM). My VB.NET 2005 program starts a process like this:
Dim WithEvents proc As New Process
Sub Main()
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "blastx.exe"[code].....
In this case, blastx.exe runs on 4 cores.I would expect that my started process is idle and has 0% CPU usage while the system is under full load (I simulate this with prime95, 8 worker threads) and only runs if there are free resources. But it generates 25% cpu load and prime95 only 75% instead of expected 0%/100%. In the task manager, I can see that my process has the lowest priority and prime95 has the normal priority.
VS 2008 Determine Mouse Idle Time On Form?
Mar 31, 2009way to reset a timer if there is form activity so it will not expire until the mouse has been at rest for 2 minutes.
This timer runs for 120000 milliseconds usually, and sometimes it lapses (and logs you out) when you are in the middle of editing. Sometimes 2 minutes is not enough time to do all the edits. So I wish to reset the remaining interval as long as there is mouse activity. But I am not sure the best method to do this?
I have found the mousemove event but to me this seems like it's going to fire way too often and tax the resources if I preform operations here, maybe not? Is there a better way to get this functionality?
I want this functionality so that if someone starts editing on the UI and walks off/gets distracted it will lock the grids back so that some other user can't come dork things up.

Detecting Resume From Standby And Reboots?
Aug 13, 2009I need something that will log the time the computer came out of standby, or the user logs in the first time from a reboot.
Basically, I want to time computer usage but in simple terms where computer is being used after waking or after rebooting.
So, All I need is a detection scheme. Does windows provide that? I am probably targeting .NET but can do Win32 API. Or do I have to do anything like that all?
I am thinking if I make a service, windows will handle the launching of the service and that way I can detect usage. But is that the most efficient way?
I am using XP Pro and Visual Studio 2005
