Dialog:

xui.MsgboxAsync

This is what you should use.

Ideally, you should start a B4XPages-type project.
The second step is to upload a small project to help you out.
And also post in the Q&A forum.

OMG. Why is finding a simple library so difficult here? Files are all over the place in forums?
I went to look at your suggestion for XUI views, but no where on that page can you d/l that library.
By the way, thanks for helping me.

The dialog libs are part of XUIViews, which are now also part of the internal Libraries!
This means that they are as up-to-date as the IDE itself!

Click to expand...

the keyword is either sleep(1000) for a pause of 1sec in the execution, or wait for will pause the execution until a condition is met!
these are part of the resumable subs structure.
the best would be for you to present a small project with what you intent to achieve, or post some of the relevant code you have going so that we can advise better

You can check this tutorial for further info about resumable subs

[B4X] Resumable Subs - Sleep / Wait For

New video tutorial: Resumable subs is a new feature added in B4J v5.50 / B4i v4.00 / B4A v7.00. It dramatically simplifies the handling of asynchronous tasks. (This feature is a variant of stackless coroutines.) The special feature of resumable subs is that they can be paused, without...

1. Moved to the questions forum.
2. MsgboxAsync is an internal keyword. It has nothing to do with the Dialogs library.
3. As @Mariano Ismael Castro wrote, it is better to use XUI.MsgboxAsync which behaves exactly the same but is cross platform.
