Wait function

Is there any way that i can make my application wait for some time so
that page loads in that time, right now I am using following code,

=============== =============== ===
Public Sub waitBySecs(ByVa l nNumSecs As Integer)
Dim d1, d2 As DateTime

d1 = DateTime.Now.Ad dSeconds(nNumSe cs)
d2 = DateTime.Now

While DateTime.Compar e(d2, d1) < 0
Application.DoE vents()
d2 = DateTime.Now
End While
End Sub
=============== =============== ======

but the problem in this function is that it takes the whole CPU usage,
so I am looking for an alternative for it.

TIA

put
Threading.Threa d.Sleep(100)
before
End While

this will make execution to sleep (wait) 100 milliseconds
before going back to While...

Hello... I have a page located in a frame. This page contains a form. When the user submit this form I want to popup a "Please Wait" window popup window The post may take some time for the server to process. So when the new windows is loaded into the browser, I want to close this Wait window. I have found a global JavaScript variable I may use.

I have tried to write a wait function but it seems like it will not brake the while loop. I tried two different solutions. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, and come with another suggestion? If I call the function like this: wait(500); it should wait 500ms right? function wait(time) { while(1){ setTimeout("break;",time); } }

Hi I have a form that opens a new window for the results. Because the results might take a few seconds due to server processing, I would like to display a message "please wait" in the new window, erase that message when the processing is done and show the results. How is this done? John Dalberg

This is the only solution I've found to get a wait cursor document-wide: function Busy() { if (document.all) for (var i=0;i < document.all.length; i++) document.all(i).style.cursor = 'wait'; } Sadly, for pages with a lot of elements, its performance is not acceptable.

I am having some strange thread synchronization problems that require me to better understand the intricacies of Monitor.Wait/Pulse. I have 3 threads. Thread 1 does a Monitor.Wait in a SyncLock block protecting a resource. Thread 2 and 3 also have a SyncLock block protecting the same resource and after executing some code in their blocks they both do a Monitor.Pulse to hand of the locked resource back to thread 1. While thread 1 has...

I've gathered that javascript doesn't have a handy wait() function, so I made the following function makeDelay() to make use of PHP's sleep(), which then does the waiting, and responds with "done"...my problem is that the javascript doesn't wait for makeDelay(seconds) to finish...? makeDelay(5); iDontWaitForNobody(); function makeDelay(seconds) {

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
