How would I delay the application multiple times, then after each time I would make a img visable, what I am wondering is there a way to delay without using a timer, more so like the delay(time) function in turing. |

Ummm... I suppose you could call some temporary function that's just a huge loop or something before continuing... Why don't you want to use the Timer control? It's actually very flexible (and efficient compared to the above) once you learn how to use it well. |

There is no way that I know of that will do that other than the timer. Also as NikG said the timer in VB is very flexible and is alot better than using a delay(time) function. |

actaully there is one. you have to make a module and put this code in it
now everytime you want to delay your program you have to write sleep(1000) and then refresh on the next line. the number in the brackets of sleep (1000) mean how many milliseconds to delay for. you can change it.
hope that helps |

following instructions is very important  now make sure its exactly the same as i posted. Note: everytime you use the sleep function you have to refresh! that is your problem |
