Syntax

DL.Pause milliseconds

The Pause method syntax has these parts:

Part

Description

milliseconds

Required. Long value for the delay in milliseconds.

Minimum value is 0 (Pause returns immediately).

Maximum value is 86000000 (23.88 hours).

Remarks

Docklight in general and the Pause function do not provide a very exact timing with milliseconds precision, so the actual delay may vary from the milliseconds value.

During a Pause, no DL_OnReceive() procedure calls can be processed. If you need to process DL_OnReceive() events while waiting, see the pauseWithEvents() code described at Example 2.

Example

' Example Pause

' Send a test command

DL.SendSequence "Test1"

' 5 seconds delay

DL.Pause 5000

' Send another command

DL.SendSequence "Test2"
