How are you 'Calling Timer' (you know, no code => no help... :rolleyes: )?

void CTimer::OnTimer(UINT_PTR nIDEvent)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
OnBnClickeTimer();
CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}

void CTimer::OnStartTimer()
{
SetTimer(2,10000, 0);
}

void CTimer::OnStopTimer()
{
KillTimer (0);
}

BOOL CTimer::OnInitDialog()
{
OnBnClickeTimer();

}

void CTimer::OnBnClickedTimer()
{

	check:
	for(;aq<10)
	{
	
		
	finalString=a1\[aq\];
			
	char \* szMyString = (char \*)(LPCTSTR)finalString;	
	
	
	CString string = \_T(szMyString);
	CString DirPath;
	

	CString string1=string;
	string1 +='\\0';
	
	
	int nLen = string1.GetLength();

	LPCSTR lpszBuf = string1.GetBuffer(nLen);

	string1.ReleaseBuffer();


	LPCSTR pF=lpszBuf;
	
	LPCSTR pT="c:\\\\Backup";
	
	
	if (!fo.Copy(pF,pT));

Timers tutorial[^] is for you.

• Please check the posted code (for instance use < to escape the symbol < when required).
• Why are you calling directly the timer function inside OnInitDialog (instead of starting the timer? You may actually do it, but usually you haven't...)?
• Since you're calling directly (form OnInitDialog) your timer function (OnBnClickedTimer) it doesn't make sense the OnStopTimer call in the latter.

Anyway your application 'freezes' possibly because of a bug in your loop. You should debug it in order to have a clue about (ispecting your code is also difficult because of the, already mentioned, bad formatting). :)
