[C#]Keep from losing your work with this simple "quick saver"

Hello all, I'm sure we have all been in the situation where we have lost work due to one type of shutdown or another before you could (or remember to) save your last changes in your work, well here is an ultra simple solution you can make in minutes that works with every windows program I tried that saves using the "CTRL + S" keys

so we need a small form with 2 buttons for on and off, a scroll bar that counts from 1-60, and a timer set to disabled by default and at 1000m/s interval. The notes in the code should explain the rest

this is mine running showing the debug output in the code as I changed the interval a few times


using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace QuickSaver
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void onBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Starts save timer

saveTimer.Start();
}

private void offBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Stops save timer

saveTimer.Stop();
}

private void saveTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Sends the keys CTRL+S to save our work
//in most windows applications

SendKeys.Send("^s");

//Debug Print lines to show us the keys are sent at the specified //interval(per timer tick)

Debug.Print("Sent Keys" + "^s");
Debug.Print("Timer interval is: " + saveTimer.Interval + " m/s");
}

private void saveIntervalBar_Scroll(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//if scroll bar value is changed
//we adjust the timer interval to "trackbar value x 1000"

saveTimer.Interval = saveIntervalBar.Value * 1000;

//timer value is counted in m/s
}
}
}
When on, whatever app has focus on your screen will save at your specified interval..
No more lost work! Enjoy and happy coding!
