I would expect you could just set up a timer event and repaint every x seconds (maybe every .5 seconds?). I have never played with the control, so I dont know for sure, but this may work for you. If you don't mind, you may want to stop the timer when the control is not active and start again when you have the focus to save on unneeded processor use... Just a few thoughts.
