Asynchronous Beep

Hi all,
I have a picture box which blinking each quarter a second. Iwant to Beep() whenever it blinks. I tried the PInvoked Beepfunction, but it blocks the thread. I am sure it is prettysimple, but need to use another thread, but I could notsynchronize the visual and audio parts.
Could you please help me.

Thanks in advance.

hi,

you have two options,
1- Use a timer , this is not very exact as you can get th e beep before or
after the imaged changed.

2- Use a timer but in addition to beep change the image too, so you create
two images and assign the needed one to the picturebox and beep at teh same
time.

cheers,
