The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

VB 6 Form loses focus and Inactivity Timer stops - how to fix timer so it doesn't stop?

Asked by CynthiaZCar in VB Controls, Visual Basic Programming

Tags: VB6, VB6 Controls

We have a VB6 app that is supposed to unload the main form after 5 minutes of inactivity. There is no timer control on the form itself - it uses timer code in another dll that's referenced. The application has been working fine for the past few years until we implemented Single Sign On. SSO now causes the form to lose focus and the timer stops when SSO comes up. Also, I've tested the application and the same issue occurs when anything causes the form to lose focus - not just SSO.

I need a way to keep the inactivity timer from stopping when the main form loses focus. I need the timer to continue for 5 minutes of inactivity and then to unload the form. Please help. Thanks.
