Timer Active ONLY when AutoCAD session is ONScreen

ChrisSolid:
:o Hi, I'm a brand-new member. I've been a frequent contributor to AutoDesk’s Discussion Groups, and I'm happy to be joining you all here, as well.  :) . I've been searching for a particular function, and was told by an old member in that forum to try this one; that many of the members here are pretty savvy regarding programming. Myself, I'm just an Auto LISP hack, and haven't done too much of that lately, either (why do the days get shorter as one gets older?).
  What has initially sent me here is a search for a way to get the Time function in AutoCAD (2002, at the moment) to stop running during periods when a session window is not active, and to then automatically resume once it's made active again. I usually have, say, 4 to 8 windows going on any particular day - I have to be able to jump from one project to another at the snap of the boss' fingers, and he doesn’t want to have to snap twice while I am finding a file and then reopening it (patience is not his virtue). But now, he wants official time spent on any particular design/dwg, and I don't want the idle time included. Any help would be appreciated

Hey look you guys it's Mr. 500! :lol:  :lol:

CADaver:
Well, just don't point and laugh, give the boy some help.  There I was braggin' on you guys, sent the boy over, and nobody has an answer?

daron:
Sorry, I was waiting on Keith to get into API's with this one. I don't know why. For some reason, I get the feeling that API calls can hellp this one. I'm probably way off though. Today seems kinda slow. Give it a couple of days and maybe someone will have an answer.

ChrisSolid:
It's an honor to be your 500th. I've always liked nice, round numbers myself. My Camaro just turned a nice, round 100K mi. And it's only 5 yrs old (heh, heh, sob). I think I already like this forum better than AutoCAD's discussions groups, even if you DO have Cadaver as a member ;). Well, now you have me, which is even worse. I promise not to get into any long, protracted and stupid arguments with him like I do over there, fun though it is sometimes. Just go over to the AutoCAD Discussion groups and look for the l-o-n-g-e-s-t threads, and they will be Cad (he calls himself Old Cadaver over there) and me belaboredly going at it, tit for tat (he can't not have the last word, nor can I). But I thank him for steering me this way. I also hope to be able to add my own meager contributions here, too - been cadding for about 12 yrs or so now - my main strength is (as my handle might suggest) solids work, although I really don't get to do a whole lot for my job (boss feels it's too time-consuming to do everything that way, and I think he's probably right in some instances). But I LOVE the challange. OK, enough rambling - this has just sort of been my "hello, everybody" ramble. The quote below is Robert Frost, by the way - I should have put a credit at the bottom.
