Do Events Safe Sub
Basic Extensions Class

Public Sub DoEventsSafe()

Pause for a short period of time, but do NOT call the DoEvents function because Microsoft strongly recommends against using DoEvents within In-process OLE Servers (such as Entisoft Tools).

This function pauses for 10 milliseconds (.01 seconds) but does NOT call the DoEvents statement.
Example: 
    Dim lngTry As Long
    For lngTry = 1 To 10000000
        Dim dblResult As Double
        dblResult = Sqr(lngTry)
        ' ... Other heavy-duty processing here.
        DoEventsSafe
    Next lngTry

v1.3 Change: Removed 16-bit support from this function.
