    Resolved [RESOLVED] [2005] Interrupt sleep

    Hi,
    I have my program sleeping with System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1800000) which makes it pretty much just stop for 10 minutes. How can I interrupt this if needed though? And if I can't interrupt it, what's a better way to do this?
    Thanks!

    Use the .Interrupt()
    method but it only applies to threads in the WaitSleepJoin thread state.

    Use a loop

    VB Code:
    1. Do while checkbox.checked = true

    2.    threading.thread.sleep(250)

    3.    application.doevents()

    4. loop

    Why do you want it to sleep. If this is the main thread, then your app would will not respond at all. I'd use a timer if you want to do something every so often.

    I may look into the timer option. Thanks for the replies guys.
