Long Story Short, The app I am making will Launch a Game. The Start button will then Check to make sure the games EXE is running.. IF it is running, it will run a script to press buttons 1, 2, and 3.. After that it will loop that script, but first checking if the game has not crashed (if it crashed it wont run the loop)
My Issue:
While the loop is running, which is using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep, does not let other functions of the app preform (in this case showing and hiding button, and changing label colors.) The main reason this is important is the button it wont is the Stop button which is suppose to end the looping script.
