This should do the trick

For i = 0 To 30
    mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN, 0&, 0&, cButt, dwEI
    Sleep 200
    mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP, 0&, 0&, cButt, dwEI
Next i

Sleep will not hold it down for a period of time i think.

No it wont but if you manually click down the button and enable a timer control in the button_mousedown event, it can fire your repetitive task/function in the tick event and then disable the timer in the mouseup event it should give the effect you want.

You can make it easier on him, instead of using a timer. You can try the DoEvents, and it should work.

For i = 0 To 30
    mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTDOWN, 0&, 0&, cButt, dwEI
    DoEvents
    Sleep 200
    mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_RIGHTUP, 0&, 0&, cButt, dwEI
    DoEvents
Next i
