Take action after front panel inactivity

[zappa2]

Hi,

I have been breaking my head on this function for my program.

The function is that after for example a time of 10 minutes in which nothing on the front panel has been touched by a user,

a tab control should jump to tab 3.

Because the program constantly runs a webcam capture loop, I can not use modules that cause wait time etc.

Does anyone of you smart guys know the answer?

Thanks!

If you use events, you could set the timeout event to get fired after the desired time of inactivity. Else, you can implement a while loop that checks the amount of time elapsed. Add a queue or notifier to inform this loop it must reset the count when another control has been pressed, etc.

Saludos,

Here is something that I think could be modified for your purpose. It was designed for lab stations that have corporate mandated inactivity lockout, causing you to have

to login to the workstation again if you leave it unattended for a period of time.
