C#-APP:need help with the sleep function

[benhania]

hello

i have a problem with the thread.sleep function - when i make a commend (in windowns form app) and after it i use the sleep function the thread first pause and only then execute all the commends in the method, even the ones that come before the thread.sleep .

is that supposed to haapen or its a bug or something?
if there is a better way to pause an app please tell me.

thenx

I am willing to bet that it DID execute the commands that came before the thread.sleep(), but that the gui didn't get to update itself until after the thread.sleep() so it looks like it executes them afterwards.

You could call Application.DoEvents(); just before entering your Thread.Sleep();
