Detecting mouse movement?

[motionman95]

Is there a function in AutoIt to detect mouse movement? I want to be able to detect if the mouse has been idle for more than 5 minutes, and if so, hide my application. On the return of mouse movement, I want my app to reappear.

Thanks in advance, motionman95

$s = mousegetpos()
do
$x = 0
if $s = Mousegetpos() then
;???
else
;???
$x = 0
endif
$x = $x + 1
sleep(1000)
untill $x = 300000

Will that code work even if the PC is locked?

Bump

Don't bump less than 24 hours after your last post please

Why not try and see?

If your PC is locked, no it won't. You would need to run it as a service to detect it. Seeing how you would only need to see it while your PC is unlocked, it should not be a issue.

See __Timer_IdleChecker() example in my signature.

_Timer_GetIdleTime() checks if Mouse OR Keyboard input happend. If you want to deactivate the WinActive check replace

if @AutoItPID <> WinGetProcess(_WinAPI_GetAncestor(WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]"), $GA_ROOTOWNER)) then; none of the programs windows are active
        $bIdle = true
    Else
        if _Timer_GetIdleTime() > $iIdle_Time Then; program considered idle after x ms of inactivity
            $bIdle = True
        Else
            $bIdle = False
        endif
    endif

with

if _Timer_GetIdleTime() > $iIdle_Time Then; program considered idle after x ms of inactivity
            $bIdle = True
        Else
            $bIdle = False
        endif

If the computer is locked - but logged onto - then then timer and window minimize function will work. The mouse movement is not detected by the script when the computer is locked - at least not in the virtual machine that I tested this on:

$begin = TimerInit()
While 1
    $moved = "no"

    $pos1 = MouseGetPos()
    Sleep(50)
    $pos2 = MouseGetPos()

    If $pos1[0] <> $pos2[0] Then $moved = "yes"
    If $pos1[1] <> $pos2[1] Then $moved = "yes"

    If $moved = "yes" Then
        WinActivate("C:\Doc")
        $begin = TimerInit()
    EndIf

    If TimerDiff($begin) > 300000 And $moved = "no" Then
        WinSetState("C:\Doc", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
        $begin = TimerInit()
    EndIf
WEnd
