Good, but can't this be just done with a TimerInit/TimerDiff which are already built in? (or also a Sleep, if you want to do it the rude way)

Btw, if your aim was to do it without timer functions, good work, i could learn something from there.

Thanks to you for sharing with us

I just tryed the code on my pc and it doesn't work.

WIndows 7 Proffesional N (64 Bit)

No Error Messages.

Just...nothing

>"C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3SciTE..autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "D:DesktopNew AutoIt v3 Script.au3"

>Exit code: 0 Time: 5.105

[PhoenixXL]

Can you give the code?

[IanN1990]

The code i tryed, is the code you provided in the orginal post of this topic

**Edit This is my fault.

My Autoit by default runs in X64 to prevent crashes with other code i use. Seams this code only works with X32.

Sorry for the Confusion. Have given 5 stars

Main reason i was intereseted with this UDF is because i needed some code to detect when IDLE is broken on a pc, to lock it. Using the built-into autoit one, it detects when my wirelss mouse turns off as a "idle breaker" whereas this code doesnt now time to learn how the code works so i can use it

This function can be found in WinAPIEx. So I would suggest looking at that instead. Search the forum for WinAPIEx.

[IanN1990]

Thanks for the suggestion, i will look into it. Though i have already stripped the code and am intergerating it into my system

Local $ISAVE, $LASTINPUTINFO = DllStructCreate("uint;dword"), $TRACE = 0
DllStructSetData($LASTINPUTINFO, 1, DllStructGetSize($LASTINPUTINFO))
DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetLastInputInfo", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($LASTINPUTINFO))

While True
     $ISAVE = DllStructGetData($LASTINPUTINFO, 2)
     Sleep(250)
     DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetLastInputInfo", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($LASTINPUTINFO))
     Switch Floor(DllStructGetData($LASTINPUTINFO, 2) / 1000) - Floor($ISAVE / 1000)
         Case 0
             $TRACE += 1
         Case Else
             $TRACE = 0
             ConsoleWrite("A")
     EndSwitch
WEnd

Does the job perfectly Once run any movement of the mouse or push of a key. It detects it has happened, and writes A

I would personally wrap in a function, then again I use WinAPIEx so no need. Also good code should support x64 too.

The code i tryed in the orginal post, i ran ino autoit and displayed the post. It just exited after 5 seconds.

When trying it with the 32bit, it worked fine.

After stripping the code and intergating it into my system code. It works on both 32 and 64. So yea. I cant explain it, maybe my pc is just weird ^^ In any event i am happy i found this topic as its allowed me to replace my old code using _Timer_GetIdleTime which didn't really work very well.

[Damodara]

Is there a simple way to modify this, that it would check for the idle time of specific program?

[PhoenixXL]

idle time of specific program

If you want to track the Keyboard and Mouse input for a specific program then its not simple

[stormbreaker]

Damodara, I believe you already got help for this:

[PhoenixXL]

Damodara,

Please give more details

You want to get the UserInput [Keyboard Mouse] or the Focus

[guinness]

This UDF has a specific purpose and would require a total re-write. Lets stick to one thread (the one MKISH linked.)
