document timing
-
Does anyone know of a way to keep track of time spent on a "document" . I would like to keep track of the time a user spends creating and working on a "document". If s/he stops for some period of time (1 minute) I want the time to stop and pick up again when they start clicking with either the mouse or keyboard.

That's a hard problem, unless you have a reasonably sure way of determining that the user is actually "spending time on a document". A simplistic approach might be to accumulate the time a document view is visible and not mimimized, but that doesn't guarantee that the user is actually working on the document. Also, tracking mouse and keyboard events isn't foolproof, since the user may be reading a document without using the mouse or keyboard. /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

You could write some VBA, or whatever it's called now, code that interface to a service. (I don't know enough about VBA to know how this would be done but I believe it's doable.) Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke

If any modification the user can do causes a call to SetModifiedFlag() then you could time things of this. You would also have to take account of which view was active. So, have a timer going once/sec in mainframe. Any OnActivateView()/SetModifiedFLag() causes the mainframe 60 sec count to be reset. Else, increment the active documents time variable.
