Here a function I've used in the past. It uses mmsystem.h and a message loop
to keep the UI alive.

void Delay(ULONG num_ms)
{
    ULONG t = timeGetTime() + num_ms;
    MSG Msg;
    while (timeGetTime() < t){
        if (PeekMessage(&Msg, 0,0,0, PM_REMOVE)){
            TranslateMessage(&Msg);
            DispatchMessage(&Msg);
        }
    }
}

HTH,
