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:

Code:

---

    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..

Code:

---

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
