Timer

[Berras]

I have put a timer into my program using the SetTimer function, but when I run it the program takes up a lot of the cpu and takes a long time to shutdown.
Does anyone know a reason for this and how to overcome it?

Thanks.

What did you put in timer function?
Timer is like any other message-response function, so if timer interval is short and there is a significant work in timer-fn, that might be the problem, since your app won't process other messages on time

I think you should do like this

int the timer proc

if(isTimerWorking)return;
isTimerWorking = true;
...do enything there
isTimerWorking = false;

and somewhere s static or global variable
bool isTimerWorking = false;
