logout events triggered on non-standard closing?

Does anyone know if the logout events described on p239 of User Manual are triggered when an AwareIM user is timed out by the system or if the user closes out the browser without clicking on Logout in the AwareIM menu?

Thanks,
Tom

The LogoutNotification has an attribute IsTimeout. Therefore this notification should also be fired whenever a session times out.

Thanks Hubertus,

I suppose then that the AwareIM server would also eventually timeout a user who had abnormally terminated their browser session without an AwareIM logout??

Have you developed a way to see a list of the currently logged in users?

Thanks,
Tom

I'd also guess that closing the browser should result in a timeout.

Yes I have such a small solution. What I'm doing is that I create a record "CurrentUser" using a LoginNotification. When the "LogoutNotification" arrives then I delete this user. But since I only compare against the LoginName when deleting I'd also delete old instances of that user if there where any.
This simple setup is only intended for seeing who's online and nothing else.
