Wait Procedure VB.NET

'' Put this where ever you want to wait for a certain amount of time


'' amount of time you want to wait for
Dim timeamount As Double = 50

'' the type of time you want.
'' Possible types:   Milliseconds, Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Months, Years
'' if you dont put something in, its default in the procedure will be "Milliseconds"

Dim timeType as String = "Milliseconds"

'' code you put if you want to wait

Wait (timeamount, timeType)


'' you can also change timeamount to a certain integer (eg. 40)
'' you can also set timeType to a certain string, possible types are above.
'' E.G.
Wait (5000, "Milliseconds")  '' 5 seconds



'' You can also remove the timeType, but if done, it will default to milliseconds
''Example of that:
Wait (5000)     '' wait for 5 seconds
