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.
