help with system("PAUSE")

[Jared F]

I need to know how to pause a program for a specific amount of time and then show the "Press any key to continue..." line that is shown by system("PAUSE"). i've seen people do this before, but i've never asked them how to. dudeoffrance

I'm assuming you're writing a console application? This code works for me #include "stdafx.h" #include "Windows.h" #include "conio.h" int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { Sleep(5000); //wait 5 seconds printf("Wait..."); getch(); //get any key from the user printf("\nHello World!\n"); return 0; }

Is this a console or UI application?

Ok, Budric's response was more or less correct. It's been six days. Has this been resolved?
