How to use delay in Visual Basic

Cornelius · Oct 9, 1999

Hi, 
 
I am new to Visual Basic. Just wonder how we can use delay like in C++ in Visual Basic. Is it by using the timer control?

I use something like this. 
 
 
Sub Pause(interval) 
 
X = Timer 
 
While Timer - X < Val(interval) 
DoEvents 
Wend 
 
End Sub

I use the Sleep command when I need to enter a known delay in msec. i.e. Sleep(10)

I tend to use a combination of the two suggestions above, mainly so that the sleeping program will still respond to user input (eventually).
