I assume this is related to your other thread. It is still not clear if the "Save As" dialog is in your application (process) or in a different process.

i use timer but it enters every program on windows that mouse go move on!

because the command is in the timer tick event!

and it execute this command on all programs.

i thinks when i put the code in a timer thick event, it can't detect "Save Az" window ! but i want when it detect a save as window then enters it.

any idea?!

Bahar,

Use timer to execute code in background:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);

    _timer = new Timer();
    _timer.Interval = 1000;
    _timer.Tick += new EventHandler(TimerTick);
    _timer.Start();

}

void TimerTick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Text = DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();
}

private System.Windows.Forms.Timer _timer;

Your code should go into TimerTick method. This method will be executed on a UI thread so you're free to modify form's contents at will. Timer will execute once every second. You can change this interval by modifying the line:

_timer.Interval = 1000;

Interval is measured in milliseconds.
