I would like to make a program that triggers a timer to wait x minutes before actually going into hibernation...if a key or mouse are used within the wait period, then the timer would be reset. This way if I am on the computer after hours I don't have to worry about the whole thing going into hibernation while I am in the middle of something. I thought about using a dialog that would wait for cancel to be clicked to avoid going into hibernation, but then I'd always have to remember to hibernate manually when was done.
For example I would schedule a task to run an exe at 8:00pm. If the mouse and keyboard have not been used by 8:10 the computer will go into hibernation. If the mouse gets used at 8:05 then the computer would reset the timer for another 10minutes from the point when the mouse was no longer being used.
Could you please give an example of this?
Thanks,
