Hi,

The SleepEx Win32 API function pauses the program for a specified number of milliseconds. You should check the documentation for full details.

Hi.

Try this.
::Sleep(1000);//All thread will stop during 1000ms.

Hope for help.

All the docs that I have is what came with the cds... ( Microsoft ) and it shows " Void Sleep(DWORD milliseconds); "

this generates an error.." sleep does not take 1 param.
:( but thank you! :)

ok, I should include the " :: " before the Sleep???
thanks ever so much. :)

[Daniel Levine]

That's true. SleepEx takes two params. The first is the number of milliseconds you want to sleep. The second is a BOOL variable that specifies wether or not I/O or APC callbacks should disrupt the sleep. It should work if you use two params (i.e SleepEx(500,FALSE)).

I will give that a try! and thanks :)

Hi.
"::" means that this function is an API function.
In Vc++, we use "::" from the direct call of API function
in MFC project.

Hope for help.

ok, lost me a little but I will read up a little more, I jumped from learning c++ to VC++ & mfc.. getting pretty far tho for only a week of spare time... All thats left from my frist program is either a function that will read values (strings) from a file in reandom order or to set up an array.. but thats a lot of strings for an array..
