    Is their anyway to delay a function on VB6? I tried to stop the thread but that didn't too well, the program crashed. It is outputting to a model car and I need it to flash but how do I set an interval between the flashes?

    Use the sleep method.

    @ThePHPMaster the sleep method is messed up, kept on crashing VB. I just decided to use a bunch of complex timers, but if anyone has a better solution please do post it.

    I wrote this in vb.net but I think it can be easily converted in VB6 ;)

    Public Sub my_Pause(ByVal my_Seconds As Integer)
    Dim t_Start As Date = Date.Now

    Do Until t_Start.AddSeconds(my_Seconds) < Date.Now
    Application.DoEvents()
    Loop
    End Sub

    I managed to get it to work with an if statement an integer within a timer.
