How do I continually update a text box with values, while also allowing the rest of my program to run?

Right now my program will continue to go through a routine and I can constantly click a button that updates the values in a text box without interrupting the rest the program. How do I write code to serve the same function of me updating the values in the text box by me clicking a button?

Hello there... Why do you think that when you press the button you are not interrupting the rest of the program??
Sorry to say this, but unless you are using another thread and you are lucky to be using several processors (things that don't happens in windows) you are interrupting the original code. You maybe don't notice that, but you are interrupting it.
Explained that, your point is that you press and the program continues from it is. But somewhere you are catching events.

Anyway you can achieve the exact same behavior with a timer. You set the timer to a specific interval, and then you simulate the press calling the same procedure that drive the click event.

you simply need to use a timer for the purpose.
set the interval as desired depending on the interval you want the code to re execute.
call the click event in the timer_timer event.
