Timing Question

Hello,
I've asked this question before but for some reason or another, my post was deleted. So I decided to try and repost something similar.Anyway, for a long time I've been wondering if it's possible to do certain actions in a loop every once in a while like so:

private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
        {
                while (condition)
            {
                Thread^ sleeper;
                int i;
                sleeper->Sleep(200);
                button1->Enabled = false;
            }
         }

But it just doesn't work...

With Thanks,
                    Gal Beniamini.

Hello Martin, thanks for the answer but I don't really get it...
First of all, I thought that when I wrote -Thread^ sleeper- it created a new thread, and then I used it, so doesn't that mean I used a second thread
Secondly, how do I initiate Message Pumping And... What do you mean by -Also the sleeper thread is not a valid object. You just declared it as a handle but this handle is null!-

With Thanks,

1. If you want to do any actions asynchonious you should use a second thread.
2. Your sample code will set a button to disabled every 200 msec. But any how the user interface will not accept any message because no message pumping wil occure. Also the sleeper thread is not a valid object. You just declared it as a handle but this handle is null!
