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.

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. Zoran
