If the user is not doing anything ie if the screen is untouched for 1 minute, it should automatically go back to the welcome screen.I dont have any idea of doing it.

Solution 1

Use a timer control and set it's interval to 60000, and have a bool Touched;

C#

bool Touched = false;


private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
             if(!Touched)
{
              //Go back to home screen
}
        }

When the user touches the screen set Touched to true and add this

C#

Touched = false;
timer1.Stop();
timer1.Start();

Where to add timer.stop and timer.start?

ZaiDz 26-May-12 16:37pm

Touched = false;
timer1.Stop();
timer1.Start();

That resets the timer back to 0

So whenever you want to reset the timer just add that code
