Ask away but what is usually
better is to create a buzilla report and capture the discussion there.
SWT Developers - I'm trying to find out how to contribute something to
the SWT development but I can't seem to get anyone to respond to my questions
- in particular I need someone who knows about SWT events to ensure I do this
right.
I've
asked on the news groups and now in this mailing list - where is the right
forum to get some response ?
Thanks in advance for taking to the time to help me out
;-)

Subject: [platform-swt-dev] System wide events -
detecting system idle time
Hi,
I'm trying
to figure out the best way forward to detect when the "entire"
operating
system is not recieving any events - in other words, the user has left the
computer idle - no keyboard or mouse events for the entire system. Seeing
no
events for 30 seconds could trigger a working progress in my
application,
but only when the whole system is idle, not just my
application.
I'm aware of how to do it for a native Windows application
(using system
hooks) but wanted to investigate a SWT friendly way first.
This kind of hook
might be something that could be part of the SWT library
and if I develop
some code to do it, I'd like to offer it to the SWT team
for consideration -
this means I had better do things the way the SWT like
native OS hooks to be
done.
Any tips or starting point would be great.
