Here there are some sentences using suffixes that mean "when":
I feel happy when i see you. = Seni gördüğümde, mutlu olurum.
I felt happy when i saw you. = Seni görünce mutlu oldum.
I am happy while i saw you. = Seni gördüğüm için mutluyum.
But are these suffixes interchangeables or each verbal tense has its own suffix?

Quoting natiypuspi:
I am happy while i saw you. = Seni gördüğüm için mutluyum. |
I think this is wrong.
Seni gördüğüm için mutluyum: "I am happy to see you" (or "as I saw you")

Quoting Ayla: isn't it: "I'm happy because I saw you"? |
If you say directly "because", it must be "çünkü seni gördüm".
"Seni gördüğüm için" has also a meaning which is as you said "because I saw you" and "since I saw you" or "as I saw you".
I guess in English one can say "to see you" for the sentence which is the subjects are same as the main clause.
Main clause + to verb1 sentence
I am happy to see you
So the "to see you" activity is by "I": "I saw you". But in Turkish there is not a form like that.
But while is definitely different. "While" tells us a time, "because" tells the reason.
"verb+dık+pronoun suffix+[space]+için" is a form for saying reasons.
Geldiğim için şanslıyım: I am lucky to come (because I came/as I came/since I came)
