Sleep function

[pdbowling]

Hi all.
I've got a two second pause I need to implement in a program. I thought I had it with
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep (2000)
but I get compiler errors.

Is there a library I need to include? Am I totally off the mark?
Using VB6 on Windows 2000 Pro
Thanks everyone.

>Am I totally off the mark?

In one sense yes, because the code you quote is not for VB6, rather it appears to be for VB.NET

In another sense no, because there is a Sleep API call. We've discussed its use a number of times in thios forume, so a keyword search here ought to reveal all

Create a new project and add one button and a text box. The place this code in

Option Explicit
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Wait (Me.Text1)
End Sub

Private Sub Wait(s As Integer)
'wait s seconds
Dim t As Date
t = Now() + s / 86400#
While t > Now()
DoEvents
Wend
MsgBox "Time is up!"
End Sub
