Double click timer event

Question

I am developing an application that maps users eye movements with the cursor movements, hence developing ahands free cursor control system.

I am using Open CV library's .NET Wrapper for C# i.e. Emgu CV for development.

I am stuck at a point where I want to open a file/folder such that when a cursor is placed over a file/folder for say 3 to 5 seconds, the file/folder should open up or just perform a double-click event of a conventional mouse.

What could I use so as to solve this problem?

Answer 1

    Timer timer = new System.Timers.Timer(5000);//5 seconds
    timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(timer_Elapsed);

    private void form_MouseHover(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
    {            
        timer.Start();
    }

    private void form_MouseLeave(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
    {            
        timer.Stop();
    }

    void timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
    {
        timer.Stop();
        OpenFileOrFolder();//Edit : implement your file / folder opening logic here
    }
