MSN like idle behaviour in your application
I posted an article that includes a link to a class file I wrote today that can detect if a user is idle for a certain period and triggers an event.
This is my own quoted text from the article.
I've just created a little nice class that helps in building applications that need MSN like behaviour regarding detecting a users idle time. This can be very handy when your application notifies the user for some special event through a non intrusive popup for example. But will the user see this popup when it isn't behind it's computer?
This is where this class comes in. When you detect that the user is idle you stack the notification events until the user is active again to show them to your user.
...
I have seen some implementations that detect a user idle'ness this way but not a single one also includes an event that get's fired when a user is available again.
