System.Threading.Thread.Sleep [Resolved]

[teamdad]

After some trial and error I found some articles about using the below code to delay an action from occuring.

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)

Sure it works to delay but it from what I gather only works on Win2k and XP and it puts the system to sleep for the specified time. "Meaning that nothing else will run" while it's sleeping.

Is there a better way to get a delay between two actions taking place and allow other actions to take place too?

I'm simply trying to show one picture box, hide it and then show another picture box beside it, hide it and then show another picture box beside it.
