Not sure exactly what you are trying to do but using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(X) will freeze the entire application until the timer is up. Try this:

Sub Wait(byval X as integer)
    Dim sTime = Now
    Dim eTime = sTime.AddSeconds(X)
    Do Until Now = eTime
    Loop
End Sub

Using that method your application will wait the specified time without freezing your app to do so. To use it just add Wait(5) to wait 5 seconds.
