NoInputTime is a built-in function that returns the time elapsed since the last input from keyboard or mouse.

Syntax

NoInputTime("optTagUpdateTrigger")

NoInputTime ( { "optTagUpdateTrigger" } )

optTagUpdateTrigger

The name of a project tag. When the value of the tag changes, it triggers an update when this function is used in a Text Data Link animation.

Note: If this parameter is enclosed in quotes, the string literal will be used. Otherwise, the value of the tag/expression will be used.

Return value

This function returns the returns the time elapsed (in seconds) since the last input from keyboard or mouse.

Notes

This function will not behave as expected if VBScript debugging is enabled, because the normal execution cycle is suspended during debugging and it is not possible to accurately measure the time elapsed without user input. For more information, see Debugging VBScript.

This function cannot be implemented directly from a Text object.
