I have methods that currently take const char* and an encoding. Like so: foo(const char* text,text_encoding::utf8) That's fine for utf8 and latin1, etc But what if you want utf16 (wchar_t?) or utf32 (no intrinsic type, but i use int32_t) What if there are others, like some kind of binary businesses that's utf8? My encoders don't care - they take a void* Should I take a const void* here? I really hate it.

If you can stand some latency, all you need is a timer; the easiest one would be a Windows.Forms.Timer with an interval of say 100 msec, so its Tick handler would be called approimately every 100 msec, mimicking a repeating button click. The big advantage of this particular timer is its Tick handler executes on the GUI thread, so your Tick handler can manipulate your Controls freely. Other timers use threads and would require the use of Invoke().
