Could you go into more detail regarding how that method fails to meet
your needs?  Somewhere in your code you are performing the button click
and then waiting for a result.  Before that code, capture the starting
time in t1, and then capture the ending time just after that code in t2.
 Without knowing more about your code, I can't suggest much more than this.
