Automatic Screen Timeout

[MattLuckham]

I have been developing an application where I would like the system to "timeout" when no activity has taken place for x amount of minutes. The timeout would result in the initial load screen being reloaded.

I thought I could use a timer event, but then I would have to resent the timer each time the user uses the screen? Is that the best way of doing this or is that a shortcut...

I think that's the best way of doing it, and actually how most things handle dimming the screen normally.

Though it seems inefficient, timers have been incredibly optimized.
