I am trying to make a program that blinks morse code of what you type.
You type something then press a button,then it starts blinking.To start
I am just working with one letter.It uses a switch to decide what letter
you typed.Then it makes the members of an array either 0,1, or 2. 0 being
a space, 2 being a long, and 1 being a short.I use timers to decide how
long the blink lasts.My problem is:I can't make the program wait until
the timer ticks, so I can start the next one

char letter = textbox1.text;
for (int i = 0;i<1;i++)
{
 switch (letter)
   {
     case 'a':
        a[0] = 0;
        a[1] = 1;
        a[2] = 0;
        a[3] = 2;
        break;
   }

    for (int h = a.length; h < a.length;h++)
    {
     what = a[h]
     switch ( what )
      {
         case 0:
            timer1.enabled = true;
            break;

         case 1:
            timer2.enabled = true;
            break;
   
         case 2:
            timer3.enabled = true; 
      }
    }
}


private void timerA()
{
   picturebox1.backcolor = System.Drawing.color.Greenyellow;
   timer1.enabled = false;
}
private void timerB()
{
   picturebox1.backcolor = System.Drawing.color.empty;
   timer2.enabled = false;
}
private void timerC()
{
   picturebox1.backcolor = System.Drawing.color.empty;
   timer3.enabled = false
}

You want to fire the timers in sequence for each component of each letter. That means each timer event method needs to know both the current letter sequence and an index into that sequence so it can select the next timer to fire: dot, space, or dash.

Wait and other methods are in System.Threading Namespace
In order to make your app to sleep for a definite seconds u need to write smth like that

Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(int Milliseconds);

Since I posted this question I have been working on both ways.It could
take a long time because I do not have much time each day to work on it.

I tried putting the main program on one thread and the timers on another
thread but it is giving me errors like:

" trying to access control not created on the current. "

I will reply back in possibly another week or so.

Yey!I have made the program work!

Should I ost the code?

I know that we are not supposed to give people the answers outright to anything,so if someone could tell
me wether or not I should,that would be nice.

Yes post your working code... DIC doesn't want people coming in, jacking code an leaving.. this thread shows the learning process and you showing the working code will complete that process

I would love to post the code but my laptop that I wrote it on died.
Right now I am using my grandma's computer.
