End FunctionI say this developer had brilliant foresight and should be given both a raise and a promotion! They must have known that VB's built-in functions would be transitioned to the .Net Framework at some point. Now, they only have to change a single line of code to make sure their entire code base uses
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(). They have also created a function rather than a sub, a clever trick in case they ever decide to return a value (e.g., a bool indicating whether or not the sleep operation was successful). Ingenious! -

Ingenious!Not to mention the magnificent documentation this programmer provided! It's better documented than most code I know :)
It's an OO world.

Ingenious!Surely, they should return the value while the thread is asleep, and stop returning it when it wakes up? ;)
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

'*******************************************************************
'* This puts an application thread to sleep (millisecond)
'*******************************************************************
Function GotoSleep(Milliseconds As Long)
Sleep (Milliseconds)
End FunctionJust a little change will allow for multi-threaded sleeping, i.e. create a new thread which does the sleep thus not blocking the main application :) . Imagine you'd have to do that when you used the built-in function everywhere...

I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.
