Security in a windows form

[wdw]

Hello,

 

I have build a login for my windows application, but now I want to have a sort of a time out on my authorization. For example: when there is a period of inactivity for 5 minutes. I want the user to login again after those 5 minutes.

 

I hope someone have a solution for my problem

There a couple of ways to do this, here's one....

You can place a Timer on the form and set its' Interval to 300000 (5 minutes), each time there is activity by the user, reset the Interval to 300000.

 

If the Timer_Tick event ever occurs that means it hasn't been reset for 5 minutes.

 

When to reset the Timer? Your choice, you can use the mouse move of the form and/or any of the controls.
