Detecting idle time in .NET CompactFramework Applications

We want to activate a process if the user does not interact for 2 mins with our compact framework application running on our custom built devices.

I found an excellent C# sample code of Code Project(http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/ApplicationIdle.aspx) but it is not supported for compact framework as this code depends on Timers Class and Application.Idle events.

Can someone suggest me how to detect idle time?
