Hello,
Does anyone know an instruction like Wait in VB6 that allows the program to pause for a certain amount of time, so as not to use a Timer?
Thank you

    Usage afterwards

    Hello,

    yes there is a sleep command that allows the program to stop for a certain amount of time that you program yourself, this command uses Windows API technology, but I don't quite remember its syntax, do some research on the web to know the exact syntax, I would have liked to help you but my VB CD is no longer working.

    good luck
