Basically, we can use API (Application Programming Interface) to do pause program. Kernel32.dll is the core library that every windows platforms have to doing the regular tasks/jobs for windows operation.<br />
<br />
And the function Sleep in Kernel32 is one of the function available in Windows, so that means actually we use external function from VB to do 'what VB cant do'.<br />
<br />
Hope this is clear

Is there a way to pause the program and then make it continue say a few seconds later? &nbsp;For example I want to display an image, then I want to hide it after a number of seconds and continue with the rest of the code. &nbsp;I understand this is possible using a timer. &nbsp;Is there any other way in doing this without using a timer?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

pausing the program.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
