DoWait.
Sometimes I need to wait for a user click or input etc. before continuing with the program. Instead of a timer system, I have written this incredible small control to do just that - WAITING.
Not visible at runtime, only one property, but it do what I ask.
No need to load a form as model (me. show 1) or otherwise.
No need to vote as this is very small indeed. Hope you can use it.
Note:
Load the DoWait.vbp or the Group.vbp
When loading for the first time, there may be an error. Do not heed warning and continue to load. After saving, there will not be a problem anymore.

Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
- Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
- NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
- Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net
including:McAfee.com

DoEvents in a loop is very CPU-intensive. Also, the whole loop is tiny enough to include in any routine.

Could you please explain the code?
Why the caution not to remove the commented statements?
How is it diffeent from DoEvents?

This is merely to show the programmer that even a simple program like this could be built into a usercontrol.
Also, The comments not to remove the comments is part of the usercontrol building process. I left it there just as VB has built it.
The main exercise is to show a very small routine can be used to wait for user-input, rather than a larger way or timer function.
Yes, doEvents is CPU consuming, but almost never an overflow error - but in the timer function, that can easily happen and make the program very slow indeed...especially if it's a large program.
