High Resolution Callback Timer (microseconds)

[MichaelLEvans]

Anyone,

I'm looking for a way to setup a callback function in our VC++ .net 2003 7.1 console application using a higher resolution timer. The multimedia timer is too low resolution at 1 millisecond. We need microsecond resolution to guarantee an exact update rate (60 or 70 Hz for example.)

We use the Performance Counter to get microsecond resolution when measuring elapsed time, but there doesn't appear to be any tools for generating callbacks or interrupts, etc. at that higher resolution.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Mike

What are you trying to do - update a screen at exactly the refresh frequency?

Because your approach is very poor if this is what you're trying to do.

Getting anything like that kind of precision out of a desktop operating system with all those programs and services running will be pretty close to impossible.
