Idle Detection in WPF


I'm new in using WPF so I have no Idea how to detect Idle time and show the main window after 5mins of Idle.

Can anyone help me? Thank you so much.


Solution

  • You can do;

    var timer = new DispatcherTimer (
        TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5),
        DispatcherPriority.ApplicationIdle,// Or DispatcherPriority.SystemIdle
        (s, e) => { mainWindow.Activate(); }, // or something similar
        Application.Current.Dispatcher
    );
