How to use achieve Thread.sleep behavior without freezing app? [message #454891]

Hi,

My drawing application need to do the following 3 steps.
1.Display image 1.
2.Display it for "n" seconds
3.Display image 2.
So I display image 1, then do a Thread.sleep and then do a Display image
2. This freezes my system and am sure is not the right way to do this.
Can someone suggest a correct way of achieving this?

Thanks Chhil

Look at the animated gif example, that should give you an idea:

Hi Emil,

Thanks for the link...

I was doing a thread.sleep inside a display.asynchexec , instead I
created a new thread and went to sleep inside it (as the example does),
the app does not freeze up.
