Sleep API function, vertical scroll bar for pause amount, Global variable techniques for pause amount, menus, etc.

  1. Use either the GLOBAL variable approach, or the direct reference to the vertical scroll bar can be done instead.
    Use Sleep(GLOBAL VARIABLE) or use Sleep(Vertical Scroll Bar name.Value).

  2. If you change the Form1.BackColor color value AFTER you have printed something, the previous printing will disappear. That is normal. In the example GUI snapshot, I did the Color menu, BackGround Color command BEFORE doing any printing on the form.

  3. The entire Form_Load() event collection of statements could be done at DESIGN time instead of as shown, but its easier to show you the sample Property values and Property names you need to be concerned with by having them occur in Form_Load() code.
