Timer in a non-CWnd class

[d00ape]

I have created a generic class (not derived from CWnd).
When I call one function in that class I like it to generate a call to another member function of the same class. Tips on how to accomplish that?

Thanks / Anders

What do you mean "generate"?
Can't you simply call that another member?
Where here is about the timer?

OOpppps... Sory meant:

When I call one function in that class I like it to generate a call to another member function of the same class after 5 seconds. (Can't use Sleep(5000))

You must process somewhere your application message queue. Do you? Read something about that stuff regarding GetMessage(), PeekMessage(), TranslateMessage(&msg) and DispatchMessage(). Then SetTimer() and wait for the message WM_TIMER.

Or CreateThread() and Sleep(5000) in that thread.
