CLOSE APPLICATION AFTER A PERIOD OF NO USE

CLOSE APPLICATION AFTER A PERIOD OF NO USE

CLOSE APPLICATION AFTER A PERIOD OF NO USE

(OP)
Dear all
any body have an idea how to close application after a certain period of time that user didnt do any action in that period.
 

RE: CLOSE APPLICATION AFTER A PERIOD OF NO USE

Hi!

Read on the IDLE() command in the Help. The other way is to use the windows API.

Thank you Shanker,

I tried to use IDLE() command before writing this post but it didnt work with me (may be I didnt apply it will), so I did a routine using Timer and it worked fine.

Thank you again
 

RE: CLOSE APPLICATION AFTER A PERIOD OF NO USE

Hi!

With TIMER(), how do you determine that no keyboard & mouse activity has not taken place?

RE: CLOSE APPLICATION AFTER A PERIOD OF NO USE

Hi!

The Windows API approach ::

Inside the Global MAP:

          MODULE('WinAPI')
            sjGetLastInputInfo(*LastInputInfo),BYTE,PASCAL,RAW,NAME('GetLastInputInfo')
            sjGetTickCount(),LONG,PASCAL,NAME('GetTickCount')
          END

          
Data Section of FRAME:
LastUserInput       LIKE(LastInputInfo)


EVENT:Timer of FRAME:
      IF sjGetLastInputInfo(LastUserInput)
         Ticks#   = sjGetTickCount()
         
         LastUserInput.dwTime = Ticks# - LastUserInput.dwTime
      
         LUI_Hrs# = INT(LastUserInput.dwTime / 3600000)
         LUI_Min# = INT((LastUserInput.dwTime - (LUI_Hrs# * 3600000)) / 60000)
         LUI_Sec# = INT((LastUserInput.dwTime - (LUI_Hrs# * 3600000) - (LUI_Min# * 60000) ) / 1000)
      END

The LUI_Hrs#, LUI_Min# & LUI_Sec# gives you the No User Activity time.

Regards
