Detecting mousemove/keypress without window-focus

[psi...@googlemail.com]

Hi there,

im developing an time-tracking app.

Is there a way to detect mousemove/keypress even if the nw windows has no focus to reset the "user is idle" timer?

I guess you need to look at this from operating system scope not nw.

For example, if it is Linux box, i would monitor /dev/input/mice for any mouse movement, and /dev/input/eventX for keyboard activity.

In windows, i belive it is a bit more complicated, i guess i would write (with google help, becouse im not C# programmer) some app using C# hooks, which would present
keyboar and mouse activity to a text file and then the rest nw code would be the same as in Linux. But again, im not a Windows guy so maybe is a better way.
