How to monitore idle time when minimized

[Daniel Kamisnki]

I have an idle time monitoring class that works great but it will not process any messages when the application is minimized....Any ideas on how to monitore idle time on minnized apps? Daniel

Hi Daniel, You can have your hook procedure in a hidden window that is not in the minimized state. However... why can't you just call the GetLastInputInfo Function[^] to determine the users idle time? Best Wishes, -David Delaune

Use Win32 Shell Idle apis instead
