Timers in MFC

[BoudewijnEctor]

Hi, I need to build some kind of app which, display a picture and after 10 seconds the next, etc...... To do that, I'll need some kind of timer conrol (like the Timer in .NET), is there something like that in MFC. If there is (I thinks there is), can somebody tell me how to use it? Thanks

There is a sleep function that you can use. I just use it as a puase between command, so if i think you want to use it for the same purpose it would be ok. Maybe you can display the first pic, then sleep, then remove the first pic and display the second pic? Sleep(time) btw, time is in milliseconds. Jimmy Just cause I am 15, doesn't mean I'm dumb!

Look up SetTimer() and KillTimer() --Mike-- Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber CP SearchBar v2.0.2 released

CreateWaitableTimer() and SetWaitableTimer() can also be used

Sleep is a blocking call. No Windows messages can be processed while your thread is blocked. This means that the rest of the user interface will be very unresponsive. If you don't need the timer to be very accurate, use SetTimer to have Windows send you a message when a timer expires.

Thanks you everybody; after reading your hints, I finally succeeded in building this part of the app! ;P:-D;):)
