Just to add a note or two to this request:
It doesn't have to be sync'ed with what the server has as my idle time. I just want an identifer that returns the number of seconds since mIRC tried to send something to the server
I know in my first post I mentioned "PING/PONG" events, but what I meant was including the last time mIRC tried to send a PING request to the server or reply to a PING request with /PONG
