    Hi I just have a general question about setting up timers. How would I go about setting up timers in C++?? Basically, I would like to set timers to wait for certain events, once the timers pop, I want the program to take a different route. Any ideas??? Pls tell me some useful links for Timers sample code Thanks in advance Ram

    set the timer to the duration you need (have a look at Cwnd::SetTimer() and Cwnd::KillTimer()). also override the events you need to catch. when the message it catched, set a flag. this way, when the timer times out, if the flag is set, the event appeared, otherwise, it didn't.

                are you programming with Win32 ? if so, you call SetTimer() in your events handler, into the event switch case relative to the action that must start the timer up.

                  You will receive a message WM_TIMER each time the timer is consumed You can catch it in your mail loop, (GetMessage ...) Papa while (TRUE) Papa.WillLove ( Bebe ) ;

                    And you will need a message loop. Jens

                      SetTimer() and KillTimer() are still used.
