Sleep has nothing to do with GUI. AFA your existing code, I went round and round with this issue some time ago. I have a little test bed I set up and looking at it, I can't see that I came to a satisfactory resolution. I think it has to do with the exact timing of the OnNavigationComplete event. You can put a Set_Focus command in there to direct focus to another edit control and it doesn't seem like it fires (at least the set focus part), but if you put a pause in either the OnNavigationComplete or in the OnEnter in the edit control, focus will remain on the edit control.
However, If you set the edit control properties to AutoSelect, focus does go to it correctly, but if you add the property LastChar to the edit control, it loses focus. Perplexing, but Sleep has nothing to do with it and a While Loop wouldn't do anything for you. I might mess with it later for a bit, but I think I beat it up pretty good before. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael J.

Mike B, Can your Sleep API pull the focus away from the Web Browser object? I am using the Pause command because I want to change the focus from the Web Browser (foucus placed on the WEB Browser with a GOURL), to a variable edit object. I tried using the on Navigation Complete EEP, but the focus refuses to change for me unless I follow the GOURL with a Pause command.

These all work OK, but as Larry pointed out, when you use a while loop, it consumes the capacity of the processor, so NOTHING else that needs a slice of time within the span of time the while loop runs will function properly. The Sleep API consumes no processor cycles. That is the advantage and it doesn't require any mucking around with your time format mid stream. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Markson" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 10, 2012 10:20 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: PAUSE for less than one second.

I want to pause each time through a loop, but only for 250 milliseconds (a quarter second). PAUSE FOR works fine for whole numbers of seconds. Is there any way to pause for something shorter than a second? -- Larry
