Hibernate an Application

[Guest]

Hello Everyone,

We are writing a medical application that due to regulations needs to log
itself out after a certain amount of inactivity. Using timers we can
determine inactivity, however we want to be able to save the application's
state or hibernate it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Why not simply have the application hide the current screen when a timeout
has been reached and show a login screen instead?

No nasty little state files or any of the associated code (which can be
quite substantial).

Jim,

Thanks for the suggestion, that is the current way I think we have to do
it. Is there any good examples of using state files to save the application?

Thanks.
