The functionality of the button click to display the directory info can be called using a timer. Drop a timer onto the form and set the interval to whatever(1000 = 1 sec). Then in the timer event of the timer control:
thisform.button.click()
This should refresh the information displayed by button evertime the timer event fires. You can also do the same thing without a timer by using an event on some other control or the form itself. Perhaps thisform.KeyPress() for example.
