Re: Delay executing

Without using timer control, what would be the best way to delay execution of code?

I would like to pause the program for about 1/10 of second before executing th. I could just use For loop to run for, say, 100K times, but I would rather use a function call or so.

Thanx.

This will do it:
Dim dblEndTime As Double

dblEndTime = Timer + 0.5
Do While dblEndTime > Timer
' Do nothing but allow other
' applications to process
' their events.
DoEvents
Loop

There is also the Sleep API which will pause your Apps Processes for a Given number of Milliseconds..

Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Caption = "Ready.."
Sleep 100 'Pause for 1/10 of a Sec.
Caption = "Go!!!"
End Sub
