This question is old but here is another answer because it is useful fo others:

thread.sleep is not a good method for waiting, because usually it freezes the software until finishing its time, this function is better:

   Imports VB = Microsoft.VisualBasic

   Public Sub wait(ByVal seconds As Single)
     Static start As Single
     start = VB.Timer()
     Do While VB.Timer() < start + seconds
       System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents()
     Loop
   End Sub

The above function waits for a specific time without freezing the software, however increases the CPU usage.

This function not only doesn't freeze the software, but also doesn't increase the CPU usage:

   Private Sub wait(ByVal seconds As Integer)
     For i As Integer = 0 To seconds * 100
       System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10)
       Application.DoEvents()
     Next
   End Sub
