[RESOLVED] thread question

[Crash893]

I have a custome user control that needs to use the voicesynthizer to speak the name of the contorl the user entered.


the problem that im running into is that the existing screen reading software reads a bunch of useless info at the exact same time( basically telling the user its a text box and they can type in it).

so i need to delay my program for a few seconds but i need to keep the rest of the program running and i can't pause the entire form

private void LBL_OT_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Control C = new Control();
            C = (Control)sender;
 
 
            Thread newThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Work(LBL_Name.Text + "  " + C.Tag)));
        
            newThread.Start();
        }
 
  
        private void Work(string say)
        {
            SpeechSynthesizer Voice = new SpeechSynthesizer();
            int waitTime = 1000;
            Voice.SpeakAsyncCancelAll();
            Thread.Sleep(waitTime);
            Voice.SpeakAsync(say);
        }

but im getting an syntax error saying that a method is expected but i thought that i provided Work with the apporiate string

what am i doing wrong

and am i going down the right path interms of delaying the code with out haulting the entire program?
