How to create screensaver ?

[Aki Tomar]

Dear Friends;
I am strucked at a point that I have to create a program which loads on the system with system startup &check when was the last keyboard or mouse event occurred .If it exceeds more than 2 minutes than it opens a program in itself say playing mp3 from mplayer.& this stops with any keyboard or mouse event.& agains sets the timer to 0 & wait for 2 minutes .

Is there is any idea to do this.

Your New Friend;

You will need something like Windows Hook. You will have to look more into WIndows API for that to do.

Why does everybody just loves to say "hooks", when they mostly are nothing but just some callbacks?
Anyway, for creating a screen saver look at: http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/archive/2006/11/01/918703.aspx.

As for the other things, you can implement them with timers.
