How to Auto Trigger Button_Click event every 5 sec?

Question

I have one button name called Submit. I would like to trigger Auto Button_Click event for every 5sec.

Eg:

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
     MessageBox.Show("Welcome to WPF....");
}

Every 5sec I need to call this Button_Click event to show Message like "Welcome to Google...." automatically.

Please help me to solve.

Answer 1

create a timer to run every 5 seconds and send: Button_Click(null, null);

public static void Main()
{
    var timer = new Timer();
    timer.Elapsed+= OnTimedEvent;
    timer.Interval=5000;
    timer.Enabled=true;
    Console.ReadKey();
}

 private static void OnTimedEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
 {
     Button_Click(null, null);
 }

In Wpf , you could use DispatcherTimer

public MainWindow() 
{ 
    InitializeComponent(); 

     Loaded += MainWindow_Loaded;
}

private void MainWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    //Timer     
    DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer(); 
    timer.Tick += (s, ev) => btnClickMe.RaiseEvent(new RoutedEventArgs(Button.ClickEvent)); 
    timer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 5, 0); 
    timer.Start(); 
}

It is as simple as this. Create a timer of 5 seconds duration and do this on the timer_tick event.

buttonName.RaiseEvent(new RoutedEventArgs(ButtonBase.ClickEvent));
