Without DoEvents, that's magic!

Thank you LucaMs!

would not sleep(5000) the same?

This is a common mistake to try to "wrap" sleep with a sub that only makes the usage more complicated.

As MarkusR wrote you should instead use Sleep directly. It will be simpler and more efficient.

Sleep can not allow to achieve the prefixed purpose:

That's true. However there isn't any other code that will allow it (without using the problematic DoEvents) as holding the main thread is a bad idea.

This thread should be deleted, as I wrote in the title (but this was ignored) as this is not a useful snippet.

I've moved it to the questions forum. I prefer not to delete complete discussions. This is indeed a common mistake. If I remember correctly I even talk about it in the video tutorial.
