To get it to work, you'll need the GetIdleTime() function from coredll.dll.

To access it you can use a P/Invoke command which is stated here:

[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
static extern int GetIdleTime ();

Also you should note that some devices don't support this functionality and return a MAXDWORD instead (see GetIdleTime() description in block Return Value).
