Visual C++ Timers

[sweep123]

As I understand it, the standard timers are accurate to 55 msec.
e.g. SetTimer(TIMER1, 60, NULL);// Timer for the 60ms messages

Are they any high resolution timers available to say give an accuracy of 20 msec.

Sweep.

Take a look at QueryPerformanceCounter()

The Multimedia Timers API is incredibly easy to use. Look at timeSetEvent in the MSDN. Just specify a period, resolution and callback—it's that simple!

The ietimer.ocx allows you to set the time in msec.
The ocx comes with Visual C++, and can be added to the tool
bar in your resource editor. From there, you can add it
to your dalog box (similar to adding a buton).

The maximum time that you can set is something like 65000 (65 sec). You can ovecome this by using a counter in your onTimer event function and reset the timer.

myperu,

You say the ocx comes with Visual C++, and can be added to the tool bar in your resource editor.

Can you provide more detals as I cant find it.
Note I am using MS Visual C++Version 6.0

Many thanks.
