How to make a constant delay?

How about the Win32 API function Sleep()?

HTH,

Re:How to make a constant delay?

Hi, all:
I want a constant delay under BCB 4.0. That is,
ConstDelay(100); // Delay 100ms

The VCL component TTimer is not suitalbe for me. When I set
"Timer1->Enabled=true;"
in some subroutine, The timeout event will not happen unless the program
counter leave this
subroutine.

I think there should be some simple method to do this.

Thanks.

Try simply Sleep(100);
