Not 'like' Sleep(), but Sleep() itself. What makes you thiong you cannot call Win32 API calls from console apps? Those that make sense (i.e. largely not associated with Windows event messaging), can be called freely.

As easy as this:

include <windows.h>

include <tchar.h>

int main()
{
MessageBox( 0, _T("Hey! I'm a console app."), _T("Console App"), MB_ICONEXCLAMATION|MB_OK ) ;

Sleep( 2000 ) ;

MessageBox( 0, _T("...and two seconds later..."), _T("After Sleep()"), MB_ICONSTOP|MB_OK ) ;

return 0 ;

}
