AutoBert Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Something like this:#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <Timers.au3> Global $iTotalIdle, $iLastIdle, $iIdleTime GUICreate('Idle Test',640,480) $idActIdle=GUICtrlCreateLabel('',10,10,500,30) $idTotalIdle=GUICtrlCreateLabel('',10,50,500,30) GUISetState() While 1 $iIdleTime = _Timer_GetIdleTime() If $iIdleTime > $iLastIdle Then GUICtrlSetData($idActIdle,'Act. Idle: '&$iIdleTime&' ms') $iLastIdle=$iIdleTime Else $iTotalIdle+=$iLastIdle GUICtrlSetData($idTotalIdle,'Total Idle: '&$iTotalIdle&' ms') $iLastIdle=0 EndIf $iMsg =GUIGetMsg() Switch $iMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beng2beng Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 thanks i can see with your code that the actual idle time never goes above 1000ms;but i'm in the same predicament. how would i know whats causing the actual idle to reset itself to 0 every second?it resets with no visible mouse or keyboard activity.

BrewManNH Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Sounds like something on that machine is resetting the idle timer (GetLastInputInfo), might be some software on it that's causing the issue. The script AutoBert posted is working for me as well, so I can only assume here. 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.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
