how can i make a method to wait n seconds and then resume execution??

 

public sub blah()

'statements

'wait one second or two...

'resume execution

end sub

 

thank you =)

system.threading.thread.sleep(1000) this = 1 sec. 1000ms = 1 sec

Sometimes, it's better to do

 

for x as integer = 1 to 10
system.threading.thread.currentthread.sleep(100)
application.doevents
next

 

If you simply sleep, it will cause the form to become unresponsive.
