In .NET it is Application.DoEvents() It is a way of preventing the application from looking stalled to the operator. I typically use it inside loops to prevent them from taking over all the processing. It is especially useful to allow the user to click a cancel button which sets a flag which the loop code can respond to. Without doevents the application cannot respond to a button click event until the loop terminates.
I use it sparingly where it is needed.

Can anyone remind me of the syntax? -- Larry
