waiting a time period without exiting from subroutine

[krackers]

I want to wait an exact period (say 100 milliseconds) of time in the program without relinquishing control from my subroutine to a timer control, so as not to lose local variables.

How do I do this? is there an inbuilt function for this?

thanks,
krackers

There is a simple API code you can call to handle this.
Place this in the declaration section of your code:

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

Then when you want to wait (say for 100ms) call it by inserting the line:

Sleep 100
