Hello
I googled for this and read some threads here, but I haven't found a simple way to have a VB.Net application sleep for a little while and still keep the application responsive:
Imports System.Net
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
Imports System.Threading.Thread
[...]
'How to keep screen frop freezing?
While True
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
ListBox1.Items.Add("blah")
'Not much difference
ListBox1.Refresh()
'Wait 1mn
Sleep(60000)
End While
Is there really no simple, non-blocking solution to have a VB.Net application wait for a few seconds?
Thank you.
