copied!<p>That's not your way, <code>SetTimer</code> is based on Windows messages system and will not work in console app <em>just from box</em>. You will need to create message pumping loop manually and do several other staff that is hardly met with console app structure and control flow.</p> <p>You could enjoy <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms687012%28v=vs.85%29.aspx">Waitable Timers objects</a> instead. They are designed specially to be used with threads as sync objects.</p> <p>Usage example:</p> <pre><code>#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500 #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() { HANDLE hTimer = NULL; LARGE_INTEGER liDueTime; liDueTime.QuadPart=-100000000; // Create a waitable timer. hTimer = CreateWaitableTimer(NULL, TRUE, "WaitableTimer"); if (NULL == hTimer) { printf("CreateWaitableTimer failed (%d)\n", GetLastError()); return 1; } printf("Waiting for 10 seconds...\n"); // Set a timer to wait for 10 seconds. if (!SetWaitableTimer(hTimer, &liDueTime, 0, NULL, NULL, 0)) { printf("SetWaitableTimer failed (%d)\n", GetLastError()); return 2; } // Wait for the timer. if (WaitForSingleObject(hTimer, INFINITE) != WAIT_OBJECT_0) printf("WaitForSingleObject failed (%d)\n", GetLastError()); else printf("Timer was signaled.\n"); return 0; } </code></pre> <p>See also nice article observing Windows timers: <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1236/Timers-Tutorial">http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1236/Timers-Tutorial</a></p>
