detection inactivity

[Dominique Vandensteen]

I need to receive an event when a form has a certain time of inactivity.

Deactivate and Activated events are not good enough.
With these events I can't find out inactivity if the form is simply left
open without doing anything else...


Anybody an idea how to do that?
