    Default Wait method in GUIs

    How do I make the program wait for n seconds then continue. I have searched this many times and the techniques only work in the main method. I need mine to work in GUIs. Very simple terms please, I'm very new to this.

    Think I got it now. I did not read the official tutorial but I used them a bit in my animation experimentation. Thanks.
