Tk_Sleep \- delay execution for a given number of milliseconds

.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
This procedure delays the calling process by the number of
|
|
milliseconds given by the \fIms\fR parameter, and returns
|
|
after that time has elapsed. It is typically used for things
|
|
like flashing a button, where the delay is short and the
|
|
application needn't do anything while it waits. For longer
|
|
delays where the application needs to respond to other events
|
|
during the delay, the procedure \fBTk_CreateTimerHandler\fR
|
|
should be used instead of \fBTk_Sleep\fR.
|
|
|
|
.SH KEYWORDS
|
|
sleep, time, wait
