    Yes. this is should be the first choice, even before MSDN. Rather microsoft should trigger it with F1.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

      Dear All, I am working on my project (in MFC) which require me to run certain function every minute...I would like to know how I can do so except using a loop to check if the time is reached. I would prefer a "signal and slot" like method as there are some other functions need to run so I can use loop method to do so :((~_~ Thanks~

      USE THIS #define ID_timer 1000 use add window handler to deliver window message WM_TIMER OnTimer SetTimer(ID_timer,1000*60,NULL); to end timer KillTimer(ID_timer); Alok Gupta visit me at http://alok.stormpages.com

          hey Mr Alok, you mustn't call KillTimer() otherwise the timer associated function will be call once whereas it has to call and call each 60 second indefinitely... besides that, you post repeats the ones ever posted, thank you very much ! Has somebody told here, let us sleep :zzz::zzz::zzz:

            What are you saying? When a timer is no longer needed, of course KillTimer() should be called. Even though a few WM_TIMER messages may still be in the queue, the message-handling function can react accordingly.

              yes, but Alok seems to calls KillTimer() at the end of OnTimer() :( Maybe i'm wrong, but that's not clear...
