You can use CreateWaitableTimer. It will create a timer that uses events.

If you feel teh timer function takes alot of time .then You can do this . Wherever_Timer_creation_required { setTimer(X,Y,MULL) pthread=AfxCreateThread(); } OnTimer() { pthread->PostThreadMessage(Message) } Now you can handle that message in pthread . Cause is my effort; Effect is God's effort

I Guess using CreateWaitableTimer with SetTimer and WaitForSingleObject may block ur thread ! Cause is my effort; Effect is God's effort

SetTimerwill work just fine. PassNULLas theHWNDand specify a TimerProc callback function.

Thanks but i have already tried the SetTimer i have only one option that i didnot wanted to opt that is create a thread. :cool:
Ok, I misunderstood your question. I thought you were wondering how to set up a timer in a non-ui thread that did not have a window available to handle the WM_TIMER message. If your timer function is so lengthy that it interferes with the responsiveness of the UI then your only option is to use a seperate thread for it.

You can't use WaitForSingleObject you have to use MsgWaitForMultipleObjects then Dispatch the message to the other controls while you wait on the timer.
