MultiThread and timer application

[lilou]

I used several threads in an application and i use a timer too.
I didn't used the MFC.
This timer causes an interruption funtion each 1 millisecond (ms).
So i count, for example, 10 ms, 5 ms even 500 ms.
The problem: I have use the SetTimer function which timer generates an interruption, but when
i count 500ms, the action appears only 2, 3 even 5 seconds later.

I have changed the funtion used to set the timer configuration. So i have used the SetWaitableTimer function which generates an interrution too. I have given the HIGHEST_PRIORITY priority to the handle
of the timer but it was the same work.

I don't where to search the solution...or how to give the priority

On multithreading is no waranty on which thread is running, which not. Is not the best idea to use threads on timer function. John Fill

I recommend you to use besides the timer:
- syncronization objects (events and/or critical sections)
(see the CreateEvent API for a start)
- the syncronization functions WaitForSingleObject and WaitForMultipleObjects
