with messages alternatives?

[N]

Has any one discovered a method for implementing something simular to the DoEvents method on Visual Basic?  I am fully aware of the message programming model and using send it time and wait with messages.  It is not necessary to explain it!

Description of DoEvents:
DoEvents simpily allows all other other pending events/handlers to execute at a specific time during a long process then return to the execution point after they complete.
