system idel time

[Danya Samuel via .NET 247]

Can anyone tell me how to track the system's idle time using vb.net?

Hi Danya,

Have a look at the unmanaged function GetLastInputInfo:

You'll have to do some P/Invoke'ing (something I know very little about).

Alternatively, here's an article from Code Project which might help you:

The article is written in C#, but you can easily translate the concepts
to VB.NET.
