I need a simple way to detect that the user has been idle(no keyboard and mouse activity) for a period of time in my application. I have several windows, dialog boxes and active X controls in my application so I don't think it is possible to just capture these messages in the main window and reset some timer. I'm thinking of implementing an application wide hook. Is this the best approach? Anyone got any source code for this?

Detect idle keyboard and mouse in MFC.

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
