Session timeout postpone

[Skepsis IT]

Hi to all,

 

I have a thought to implement a Pos system with unigui. One of the problems that i face is the timeout of session. In a pos a user will login and must not have a timeout till the log off time. The pos may stay idle for a long period.

 

Is there a way to postpone session timeout?

 

Thanks to all

Hi

 

Put a uniTimer on your mainForm with an empty handler. Adjust the interval to 5 minutes or something.

Thanks a lot Farshad! That will be fine!

Hi skepsis, Farshad.
I've purchased UniGui in 2015, because the Session Expired always appear, now, coming again with a Unigui project same message still appears, in a few seconds, 2 minuts or minus.

How can I supperate this obstacle?.
I've aggregated a Timer for trigger each 60 seconds, but only a time fires, because the session timeout appears....
Help!
Another thing, why not fires the UniFormCreate for uniforms?

Hi

 

You can use the SessionTimeout event of MainModule.

 

where bExtend in this example is a Boolean controlled by what ever logic you need to allow or disallow the timeout.

 

procedure TUniMainModule.UniGUIMainModuleSessionTimeout(ASession: TObject;

  var ExtendTimeOut: Integer);

begin

 if bExtend then

  extendTimeout := 60000; //or whatever period you need before rechecking if a timeout is appropriate

end;

years ago that i have this code:

procedure TUniMainModule.UniGUIMainModuleSessionTimeout(ASession: TObject;
  var ExtendTimeOut: Integer);
begin
  ExtendTimeOut := 1800000;
end;

but is ignored

I get the event fired with ver 1.0.0.1376 on XE8 32bit

I've captured the time of day at each onTimeOut for various Sesion timeouts and extend values.

and it looks like the extend value is not used

 

Session  Extend    Actual 

Timeout   value      interval

10,000    60,000   15,000

20,000    60,000   22,000

30,000    60,000   30,000

60,000    70,000   60,000

Please test with latest build

Thanks Farshad

With build 1.0.0.13814 (XE8 32bit) setting a value for ExtendTimeOut does result in the next OnTimeout being fired at an interval equal to that value.
