Freeze Process if mouse is active, if inactive for 25 seconds then Resume Process


Recommended Posts

Having a bit of trouble. I went over the code so many times, I thought it out while I was half asleep and wrote it on my Note 2.. Everything seems right but it is not working. from start it just freezes, and stays froze . Please help!!

DIM $MousePos
Dim $MousePosChange
Global $processtoSuspend = "notepad.exe"

While 1
    $MousePos = MouseGetPos()
    sleep (1000)
    $MousePosChange = MouseGetPos ()

                if $MousePos <> $MousePosChange then
                    if ProcessExists ($processtoSuspend) Then _ProcessSuspend(ProcessExists ($processtoSuspend))
                Else

                    $MousePos = MouseGetPos()
                    sleep(25000)
                    $MousePosChange = MouseGetPos()

                        if $MousePos <> $MousePosChange then
                                if ProcessExists ($processtoSuspend) Then _ProcessSuspend(ProcessExists ($processtoSuspend))
                        Else
                                if ProcessExists ($processtoSuspend) Then _ProcessResume(ProcessExists ($processtoSuspend))
                        EndIf

                EndIf

WEnd

Func _ProcessSuspend($process)
$ai_Handle = DllCall("kernel32.dll", 'int', 'OpenProcess', 'int', 0x1f0fff, 'int', False, 'int', $process)
$i_sucess = DllCall("ntdll.dll","int","NtSuspendProcess","int",$ai_Handle[0])
DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'ptr', 'CloseHandle', 'ptr', $ai_Handle)
EndFunc
Func _ProcessResume($process)
$ai_Handle = DllCall("kernel32.dll", 'int', 'OpenProcess', 'int', 0x1f0fff, 'int', False, 'int', $process)
$i_sucess = DllCall("ntdll.dll","int","NtResumeProcess","int",$ai_Handle[0])
DllCall('kernel32.dll', 'ptr', 'CloseHandle', 'ptr', $ai_Handle)
EndFunc

matter,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum. :)

A hint - what does MouseGetPos return? ;)

It returns an array and you cannot compare arrays directly in AutoIt - you have to compare the elements.

;)

And out of interest, why do you want to do this? :huh:

I work from home, I have a tripple screen setup, I am going to enable my TV as well for stats only, but do not want the stats to update while im using the PC. so i would like it to see if im not using my mouse. and if not then update stats every second.

I will add msgbox with what MouseGetPos gets to see. 

thanks for the welcome!!!

MsgBox will not display anything as the function returns an array - use _ArrayDisplay. But do not forget #include Array.au3 at the top of the script. ;)

 

update stats every second

That is some update rate! :D

No, although after 5 years or so my crystal ball does help with some of the more obvious beginner problems. :D

See :

If _WinAPI_GetIdleTime() > 25000 Then

_timer_getidletime is probably easier, if you don't mind for mouse and keyboard presses:

#include <Timers.au3>
While True
    While _Timer_GetIdleTime() < 25000
        ; looping until idle for 25 seconds
        Sleep(1000)
    WEnd

    ; your code to do stat updates
    
    
    
    Sleep (1000)
WEnd





edit: haha, 2 seconds too late :)...well, same basic function, diff udf

are you sure about that :)...try with this (don't move/press anything)

#include <Timers.au3>
While True
    $iTimer = TimerInit()
    While _Timer_GetIdleTime() < 25000
        ; looping until idle for 25 seconds
        Sleep(1000)
    WEnd

    ; your code to do stat updates
    MsgBox(1,1,TimerDiff($iTimer)/1000)


    Sleep (1000)
WEnd

my message box showed very close to 25 seconds (which it will never be exact, since it takes a few seconds to start the script, and impossible to "time" the idle time...pluss the sleeps can cause the idle time to go over 25 seconds, but it should be around 25 +1 second

that's so weird...put the idletime < 12500 :)

One last question tho. Why the $iTimer? is it doing anything? when i compile it gives me an error saying "

-### Obfuscation Error: Found DllCallbackRegister() statement using unsolvable Func, which will/could lead to problems running your obfuscated script.
>### current Func: _Timer_SetTimer
C:Program FilesAutoIt3includeTimers.au3(275,1) Warning for line:$hCallBack = DllCallbackRegister($sTimerFunc, "none", "hwnd;int;uint_ptr;dword")

Don't use any of the /strip options without using the wrapper directives to skip obfuscating certain functions that cause those warnings. Search the forum for that error and you'll find plenty of threads describing it.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.
