In one of the programs I'm writing I have a Timer which fires every so often and if there hasn't been any user activity for a certain period (ie. idle time) the program does an update routine. I'm wondering if there is any API call which can give idle time... ie. the user hasn't interacted with the program, even though the program itself may have been doing certain things. If not I will just use a variable an update it with the current time every time the user does interact with the program, however, I was just wondering whether windows itself tracked this to save me the effort of doing so.

Cheers.
