I'm sorry, but I can't follow you.
So, I have a timer object and I know when the application was started.
Can you tell me exactly what tests I must do in the timer event to know that my app is active or inactive.

How can I know that in the last, let's say 15 minutes, the user pressed a key, or moved the mouse, or launched a report or a query, etc., etc.

The problem is not to close the app in any condition. The app should be closed only if is inactive for a specified time.
