Never really thought much about this but yes we do spend a lot of time and do not realize
Reading now how to keep track of user activity "Visual Studio toolbox"
thank you -
I'm a vb.net programmer, so this may seem like a dumb question to a classic vb'er. But the function
GetLastInputInfo is completely empty, i.e.
Private Shared Function GetLastInputInfo(ByRef plii As LASTINPUTINFO) As Boolean
End Function
What is the purpose of an empty function? -

Throw new System.Beverage. OutOfCoffeeException()
It's not an empty function.... you'll notice it starts with <DllImport("User32.dll")> _tharpa said:I'm a vb.net programmer, so this may seem like a dumb question to a classic vb'er. But the functionGetLastInputInfo is completely empty, i.e.

That signifies that the function exists in User32.dll.

Is there a way to determine which window is active? I'm thinking I could not only detect a switch from active to idle, but maybe I could determine which window is the active one and log how many times its the active window each time the timer goes off. when the active window changes, I could write it to a log and time the next active window, etc
If I had that sort of log, I could then suck it into excel and maybe figure out what it was I was doing when I look back over a week's worth of data (I have no clue how much time I might be wasting in a week).
