I've tried both. But it just doesn't work.
If I get it right when the program gets to the line

this.countDown.Start();


the 'countDown_Tick' must be executed.

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    this.timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_Tick);
    this.timer1.Interval = 1000;
    this.timer1.Start();
}
private int currentSecond = 0;
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.label1.Text = currentSecond++.ToString();
}

In my point of view I should go towards the c# library and handle all the mouse events by myself. What you suggest.
Thank you.
