Detect mouse movement or clicks anywhere in Windows
I'm working on a Touch-Screen app,
I want to have a timer and whenever the mouse moves or clicks I want to reset the timer (after 60 seconds or whatever a flash animation will be launched.)

Do you know if that would work? Would the screen saver app terminate after mouse input?

@rtwoolf:
I was just assuming that you wanted your programme to do something if there is a 60 sec inactivity, hence the suggestion to install your app as a screen saver instead.
Once Windows starts your "screen saver", it is up to you what you want to do with it... e.g. setting it to a maximised form and closing it in the OnMouseMove event, etc.
