I'm trying to code a loop to Sleep for the amount of milliseconds that is selected by the user in a Drop Down List, but I am running into problems.

This is the entire context:

I have seen two main-problems:
1: you need a glabel like gMyDropListchanged for the dropdownlist

[Jon]

also,

%vDrop% should be %Drop%

[Rubberduck]

I am not sure about this, but I seem to have seen another error.
I have not yet worked with the hotkey-command myself,
but your user-definded HotKey is never assigned to any action

Something like

[AiKscroll]

Hmm, don't I need OutputVar somewhere?

You have the command
Gui, Submit, NoHide
twice in you GUI-Definition

Normaly this command is NOT used within the GUI-Definition-Section.
It is used somewhere after the auto-Execute-Section (after the first
return in a script) to receive the contents of control-variables.

OutPutVar is a PLACEHOLDER, you must replace this word
in any command with a variablename you select for you own,
e.g. MyVariable.

You CANNOT use the word OutPutVar directly.

As I told above if the User is selecting any of your
millisecond-values from the dropdownlist, the assigned Glabel
"MyDropListchanged" is called. After this label the command
Gui, Submit, NoHide is receiving all values from the GUI,
what in your case means, that Drop (NOT vDrop) is holding the value from 0..1000.

If you don't know what I talk of, I try to write the script for you.

Thanks rubber, you own, it works now.

This is what it is now:
DropDownListchanged:
Loop,
{
Gui, Submit, NoHide
send, {:}
send, p
Sleep, %Drop%
}
