The hook is useful when you solve this problem, my 5. My idea is different, "don't do it". Please see my Answer, and especially the reference. At that time people offered different implementations and I put forward the idea to create a contest ""Most Elegant and Comprehensive Solution of a Completely Useless Task".

I actually started. Please see my Question (at the moment, my only Question, see from my profile...) What do you think?

That all was discussed before, see: Close windows application automatically[^]

Than again: don't do it! See the discussion, it is useful and include the solutions you need. But… don't do it.

Why can't you just implement a boolean member that gets reset anytime a user interacts with your application. That way your timer can check if the boolean is false and close the application down. that's the way I would do it. Well, in fact I wouldn't close the application down, just disable the user interface until the user logs in again.

Hi,

you could use this article that describes checking for user inactivity:
How to check for user inactivity with and without platform invokes in C#[^]
If there was no activity for your given time, you could simply close your app.
