Quick easy question about pausing in a prog

[hugohugo37]

I can't seem to find a simple answer to this very simple question-

I just want to put a type of pause command into a for next loop so that it pauses for, say, five seconds between iterations.

The example given for the timer class was really convoluted. There must be a one or two line way to do this.

Thanks for your help.

not sure if this is what you want:

            '5sec
            Dim timeOut As DateTime = Now.AddMilliseconds(5000)
            Do
                Application.DoEvents()
             'Keep looping until the elasped time of 5000 milliseconds.
            Loop Until Now > timeOut

HTH

threading.thread.sleep(5000) ' 5000 milliseconds = 5 seconds

threading.thread.sleep(5000) ' 5000 milliseconds = 5 seconds

Nice suggestion, but don't do this in UI thread!
