❔ How do I look a bool method every 5 minutes?

So I have a bool method called WindowWatch(), and it works and returns true and false when I need it to. How do I make it so that I do it every 5 minutes? I feel like I'm not using the boolean method properly.

Basically what I am trying to do is run WindowWatch() every five minutes.

You could use Timer class:```var _timer = new System.Timers.Timer(300000); // 5 minutes in milliseconds _timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(WindowWatch); _timer.Enabled = true;```And set _timer.Enabled = false to stop.
Set WindowWatch to void. If you want to return something, make an Action<bool> callback instead.

I'm also surprised you need to go this low level importing the DLL. You'd think there would be a Net api for this, maybe in NuGet
