    Perhaps you can use the DoEvents function?

    .code.
    .code.
    DoEvents
    .code.
    .code.

    It will do all the first .code. before continuing on to the second .code..

    Hi,
    Try
    Busy = true
    Your API
    Call Pasue2Api

    Public function PauseApi()
    while busy
    doevents
    wend
    end function

    Some api's are processed in background, for instance bitblt, and it can be really annoying if you use autoredraw. There's no real way to determine how long you'll have to wait.
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
