I'm writing a small security app that will wash the harddrive free space, btu I only want it to run when the computer isnt inuse. I can obviously detect use when my application recieves thigns liek keystrikes and mouse messages, but those only work when my application has focus or the mouse is over its window. Any ideas theories or wild ass guesses on other methods?
Have you thought about using the "screensaver" functionality? I have never looked at those, but could perhaps supply you with what you want.
On the other hand, if you just set the priority low enough, it will run in the background and won't really affect other apps.
