I refined your code.

I added two timer and I named it to tmrOpen and tmrClose and set the both property into;

Enabled = false
Interval = 5000

because 1000 is equivalent to 1 second
I also add Start button to start the tmrOpen and I let tmrOpen to start the tmrClose and vice versa.

Hope it helps to you.

Solution 1

Here is a link to a tutorial on timers in c#
http://www.dotnetperls.com/timer[^]

This code sort of works (based on your original) - it doesn't open my CD draw though

C#

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    System.Timers.Timer t = new System.Timers.Timer();
    t.Interval = 5000;
    t.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(telapsed);
    t.Enabled = true;

}
public static void telapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
    cdKapakKapat("Set cdaudio door Closed wait ", null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
}

thank you so much :)

Ahmet Yön 25-Feb-14 15:37pm

what is the telapsed?

CHill60 25-Feb-14 15:43pm

That's just a name I made up for the function that handles the Elapsed event on the timer - see t.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(telapsed); ... that's telling C# that when the 5 seconds has elapsed it should "run" the function called "telapsed". I could have given it a more meaningful name but I was being a bit lazy :-)
