Sleeper?

[capone67]

Hi Gang

I am looking for a way to put my program to sleep for a specified amount of time. I don't want to have my program eating up CPU cycles while it is waiting to perform it's next task.

there is a sleep API function. Copy this declaration into a standard module in your project

Public Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" Alias "Sleep" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

Then call it like this

Sleep(10000)

you pass it the time to sleep in milliseconds, so this example would pause for 10 seconds. Ruairi
