Application Inactivity

I am develping an application that requires the detection of inactivity within the application. Since the application contains sensitive information, I would like a login form to be displayed after a predetermined period of user inactivity. How would I go about doing determining if the application has been inactive? I can't seem to find any material on the subject.

I forgot to mention. I am developing this application in VS.NET.

Thanks

Tony,

If you don't want to use the entire OpenNetCF library, why not just extract
the source code you need from OpenNetCF and then the code is all "yours".

Not sure why you have to avoid something free and open source, but the
alternative is to look at the code presented, change the names of the
variables to something to make you feel like you wrote it and then use it.
I mean you don't have a lot of choice on how it can be done in pure managed
code. We've presented something that works, is free to use, and you could
have up and working in under 5 minutes. You could surely write your own,
but it will end up doing the same thing and take quite a bit longer to
implement. You're not obligated to take the whole thing if size is an
issue. Take the pieces you need and run with it.
