Hi Somesh.

A simple approach to this is to create a custom timer class. The custom timer should have additional properties to store the last mouse x,y position and the last time the user did something. Then at the start of your app create the custom timer and have it run once every few minutes or whatever.

The timers event code would test to see if the mouse has moved since the last call to the timer event. If the mouse has moved then save the current mouse x,y position, and save the current time. If nothing has changed then see if the current time is more than, say, 30 minutes past the last time something changed. Take action as appropiate.

This does not test for keyboard activity but how likely is it that the user never touches the mouse in 30 minutes in your app? You could also test for keyboard activity if you feel you need to.
