Reset Timer OnMouseMove

[tappatappa]

Suppose you have to manually implement some sort of "Timeout" Event on a Form..

 

You have a UniTimer with interval=20000 that must be resetted with each OnMouseMove event. if the mouse does not move, the Application Terminates.

 

What i want is something like this:

function window.Onmousemove(sender, x, y, 
{
  sender.UniTimer1.reset;
}

(yeah, I am a ExtJS newbie)

 

I hope this is a simple question, because what I REALLY want is a global Timer, with a global OnMouseMove handler...

 

(and no, the ServerModule.AjaxTimeOut propery is not enough for me)

Hi Nefasto

 

I don't know how to do this but I think it would be a really useful property of a session - perhaps a feature suggestion ?

I would use javascript:

myTimeout = window.setTimeout(function(){myFunc();}, 20000); // set new timeout (call myFunc() after 20 s)

window.clearTimeout(myTimeout);  // clear last timeout (before set a new one)

Thank you both for the prompt answers, Oliver and HarryG.

 

So, let's say I define two Events

function window.OnAfterrender(sender)
{
  myTimeout = window.setTimeout(function(){myFunc();}, 20000);
}

function window.Onmousemove(sender, x, y, 
{
  sender.clearTimeout(myTimeout);
}

Two problems:

 

1) How do I define myFunc? Do I have to add a call to AddJS(...) somewhere in my Delphi/C++ code?

2) myTimeOut is out of scope!

[Oliver Morsch]

use TUniForm.script property for a javascript:
 

function myFunc() {
  alert('do Something after timeout');
}

myTimeout = window.setTimeout(function(){myFunc();}, 20000);

 
and in onMouseMove:

function window.Onmousemove(sender, x, y, 
{
  window.clearTimeout(myTimeout);
  myTimeout = window.setTimeout(function(){myFunc();}, 20000);
}

(not tested

Ok I'll give it a try, thank you.

Now tested: I had forgotten "function" in/before "myFunc()" declaration.

 

I have changed code in #5. It works for me.

I've found a way to implement a global listener of mousemove that resets a TUniTimer.

 

In this example I have a component called "TUniTimer1" in the MainForm.

doc=Ext.getDoc();
  doc.on('mousemove',
  function(e) { 
	 timer1=MainForm["UniTimer1"]; 
	 try{timer1.stopAll()}catch(e){};
	 task1=timer1.tasks[0]; 
	 timer1.cEvent=function(sender) {     };
	 timer1.start(task1);
	 task1.taskRunTime=task1.taskStartTime;
  });
