Declaring & Calling The Sleep API

Question

I have read many threads on implementing the Sleep API however most are a step ahead of where I am at in terms of knowledge to some guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The declaration of Sleep should go to the top of a module. Standard coding module.

You can omit Call and just use

Sleep 1000  ' 1 second delay

anywhere within an existing sub, so

Option Explicit

Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

Sub Main()

    ' wait 3 seconds
    Sleep 3000

End Sub

---

an alternative without declaring the Sleep sub would be

Application.Wait Now + TimeValue("00:00:03") ' waits 3 seconds
