Using a pause...

Im a beginning programmer and would like to know what technique/function can I use to "pause"...for instance, I am sending text to a richtext box, but would like to use a pause in between printlines. It would be preferable if this pause could be controlled in a menu option (slow, medium, fast) via a variable, etc..

What do I use in C++? I know Java has an actual "pause". I don't need anyone to give actual code examples..just point me in a direction. Thanks a lot!

Try sleep()

Sleep. And it only is available for windows.

For straight C/C++ you use a while loop and the time functions.
