Greetings: I'm working on some graphical game and need to animate certain things (by continuously changing the x/y coordinate and update the display), however, the system is blinkingly fast so no actual animations can be seen. Therefore I need a "delay" function. Is there a "delay" function in C++ that accepts a time argument in seconds or its varieties (i.e. so that I don't have to resort to the "big for loop" scheme). Regards,

After the call, I check the value of that hidden variable and proceed according to whether it is zero or one. The problem is that the AJAX call does not complete before the test. So, I put in a delay after the call to the AJAX function. I...

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,...
