Sleep(1000) is possible, but it will completely freeze your code for 1 second, including repainting.

I think you should rather use timer for this...

Hello,

in my code I used Sleep(500)

...
  for (int i=0; i<arrlog.GetCount(); i++)
      { arrlog.SetCursor(i); // bool sel = true).SetCursor(i);
        Sleep(500);
      }
...

I wanted to move the cursor in turn on the rows of the array to trigger some action somewhere else. Instead I couldn't see anything except the final result when the cursor was in the last row. So I lost all the intermediate steps.
Then I decided to try 'timer' but what is it? Navigate suggest me only

void Ctrl::TimerProc(dword time)

how to use it? I just want to pause the program a fraction of second during the movement of the cursor of the arrayctrl.
Thanks.
Luigi
