The 3rd option sounds good for my case. It's ok to wait until the main 
program
to take control.
Do you have any sample codes for sending/receiving messages? I have never 
done this before.

In my main program, there's a 'Next' button which can be triggered by the 
user to
load the next file. Can I trigger a button event from the timer and pretend 
the user
press the 'Next' button? Is that a good idea? or better trigger a separate 
event to call the procedure directly?

thanks
