Why do you need to do that? 

Midi files are used for playing in a karaoke device. They need a blank time then run a function

put a note there. set velocity to zero.

It's a good way but not seems flexible. I think that is the best way at the moment.

Drag the right hand edge of the clip out in track view to where you want

I'm not clearly. Can you show me in detail
I try to drag it but nothing happens. I use Sonar 8.5


In Track View you will see your Midi clip. Simply click the right hand edge of the clip and drag it to the right, increasing it's length.

The clip's length was increasing but it still stopped at the last note, not the end of length. I saved then reopened it, nothing happened!

By the way, assume C4 is the last note of all clips, after that note is other KINDs (NRPN/Control .etc). So, Do these Kinds have effect?
I think these will affect what behind them

ll stopped at the last note, not the end of length. 
If the project is midi only, then play always stops at the end of the last midi note, unless there are any markers further along the timeline.  I always add a marker at the end of the project.

I added a marker but not ok. Can you show me in detail?

Lengthening the MIDI clip should lengthen the playback time of the whole project. 

Hover your mouse over the right-hand edge of the clip until the mouse cursor changes to a square with an arrow in it, then hold the left button down while dragging to the right. This will stretch the clip without actually altering any MIDI data, and you should be able to add any amount of silence you want.

If this doesn't work - and I've never seen it not work - you can always insert a dummy MIDI event via the PRV or the Event List.

It will work only if I add a dummy event such as adding a silent note after dragging my mouse to the right
