How do you do a DoEvent syntax 1

[Rousseau10]

I am trying the DoEvent.wait ... to pause my over eager program, but I do not know the sysntax - intellisense does not come up on '
DoEvent.
or
DoEvents.

Do I need make reference to the DoEvent like other class obects?

There's no DoEvents.Wait

DoEvents is issued as a single statement after a statement where you need to yield to the OS. For instance in a heavy processing you'd like to update a statusbar, form...

[tt]me!txtSomeText.value = "Duh - still working, hang in there..."
DoEvents[/tt]

Hint - press F1 while the cursor is whithin DoEvents

If you want it to wait a little bit with the doevents try this. Roy has the right syntax, but it will just blow right by it without waiting depending on what your over eager program is having a problem with

THis will pause it for 5 seconds.
PauseTime = 5 ' Set duration.
Start = Timer ' Set start time.
Do While Timer < Start + PauseTime
DoEvents ' Yield to other processes.
Loop
