Some times we want an application to give out some processing power, to allow for instance to get a new key pressed or a button click.

Does gambas (or qt ) has something like Thread.sleep or Yield function to make the current task sleep for a while allowing other events to be heard?

Thanks

Wait and Sleep

Wait is used like VB DoEvents()  this pauses the program while the event loop continues to run.

Sleep pauses everything including the event loop.

Wait has options.
Alone it waits for the event loop to finish all queued executions
Wait Next waits for event loop once.
Wait 1 ' wait's 1 second
Wait 0.1 ' wait 1/10th of a second
