Parameters

time_to_wait_millisec. UInt32. Time to wait in milliseconds

Method Of

System.Threading.Thread

Implemented In

ECMerge 2.2.111

Description

Waits during the amount of time specified.

In graphical mode, the standard cancellation box is displayed as it would during any lengthy process, it lets the user break the execution at any time (such cancellation cannot be cacthed by 'try - catch' blocks).
Although the time to wait is expressed in milliseconds some operating systems are not able to give that resolution of time, for example, waiting for 2 milliseconds may well wait for 10. Generally you can expect a resolution of time below the second.

Examples

Example 1.

This example makes the script wait for 2 seconds:

System.Threading.Thread.sleep (2000)
