lol threading eats cpu... ur idea also eats cpu... wat's the point :D yea i making my own macro program that do interval clicking on other applications buttons, so the first thing that comes to my mind is using thread.sleep to so call "pause" for a specific time between the next action. is there any other way? geez... if u ever played with macro programs(e.g. Macro Express, AutoIt, ACTool) you should know they have delay function to pause the action for a specified time... that's wat i wanted to achieve

Yea thanks for the resource! mouse_event works fine anyway, but how can i fix the thread.sleep problem that causes my app to stop responding while the thread is running?

Thanks! Wat i'm trying to do is not click any buttons on the form but clicking some other things outside of the application itself, so i need the mouse_event api Oh yea one more thing... when i use thread.sleep i cannot seems to do anything to the form (e.g. i can't press button to stop it). Is there any idea i can fix this?

Is there a way to check if external hard disk is plug in? Coz what i'm trying to do here is, i'm creating a small app which protects the folder on the external hard disk. The app itself is on the external hard disk, so when non-authorized person try to access to the folder which is protected it will denied it. Main points: - The app is on the external hard disk - How do i code the part when user try to access to a restricted folder, the app runs itself and check for authentication (pass key, let say it prompt user). - Setting folder security attributes Guide me pls~
