For Cycle in pause for some seconds

[Colino]

Hello,
I have a loop and I need that at the end of each step of the cycle that it sets in pause for a few seconds
How?

You could call Thread.Sleep, but that's going to lock up the app. It would be better not to use a loop at all, but rather use a Timer with an Interval of 2000 (milliseconds) and then execute one iteration in the Tick event handler.

thanks for the help,

i'm tryng with create a thread and then put it on sleep

the calling is done in this way

Dim t As Thread
        t = New Thread(AddressOf Me.threadtDo)
        t.Start()

but from thread i try to do some operations and it gives me an error "cross-thread" ,
becouse i invoke from that thread some form components...
how i can solve this problem??
