hiya guys,
At the moment I'm using thread sleep to pause the timer but this will also make the buttons unresponsive during the time the thread is asleep. Is there a simple way around this??? Any ideas will be much appreciated.
thank-you

If you're using Swing, you can have all your main GUI responses happen on the main Swing thread and process other commands/waits using a SwingUtility thread.
