Auto Logout or Lock the application.

[venkatanarasimhaa]

Hi,

I would like to put an option in my VB 6.0 application. Once if we dont use my application for 3mins(or some time), it should logout or lock, so that the user have to enter password to re-enter into the application.

Please help me out on this.
Many Thanks in advance.

Have a nice weekend.


Regards,
Venkat.

i did this by creating a global variable "Timer"

i added a timer to my app with intervals every 30 seconds, and used the code on my timer:

Timer += 1 '1 = 30 seconds

If Timer >= "60" Then
'Me.Hide()
Me.Enabled = False
Login.Show()
Timer1.Enabled = False
Login.Timer1.Enabled = True
End If

now u need to rset the timer variable to 0 everytime u app does something, so on each button, event of any kind add:

timer = "0"

also on your login form u need to set the timer to enabled when some1 successfully logs in.

seems to work perfect for me.

NOTE: this is vb2005 code

Me.Hide
Me.Enabed = False
Locker.Show
