I believe you will need a Window to get timer messages. It doesn't work in window-less controls. 1- You could use the Multimedia timer. 2- Or you could just create a hidden window that would receive the timer messages. 3- Or create a thread that sleeps for the specified amount of time, and calls a function of your program. (quite inaccurate timing). this is this.

You need to start the timer. UINT nMilliseconds = 1000; ::SetTimer(hWnd,ID_TIMER,nMilliseconds,NULL); when finish stop it with ::KillTimer(hWnd,ID_TIMER);
