delay

[newbie]

hi, i have a program that will execute printing with delay. the last time i
posted a question on how to introduced delay to my program, i believe i given
an advice on using the following...

Threading.Thread.Sleep(11000)

it work fine, but i do want to introduce a "cancel" function in my program
so that my program can stop anytime i want, but with the above command, the
program will hang for 11sec as shown and during this 11sec, no command can be
entered...how can i solve this?

Newbie,

(When you use a normal name it is easier to react on previous messages from
you).

\\\
for i as integer = 1 to 11
threading.thread.sleep(i * 1000)
application.doevents
next
///

I hope this helps,

Cor
