急，请问如何在控制台程序中做一个类似SetTimer的计时器？

[bekars]

SetTimer是在Windows窗口中实现的，现在我希望在控制台程序中使用类似的一个计时器，请问有没有这样的函数调用？谢谢。

Summary
SetTimer() was not designed to be used with a console application because it requires a message loop to dispatch the timer signal to the timer procedure. In a console application, this behavior can be easily emulated with a thread that is set to wait on an event.



More Information
In Windows NT 3.1, SetTimer() can work within a console application, but it requires a thread in a loop calling GetMessage() and DispatchMessage().

For example:

while (1)
{
GetMessage();
DispatchMessage();
}
Because this requires a thread looping, there is no real advantage to adding a timer to a console application over using a thread waiting on an event.

Another option is to use a multimedia timer, which does not require a message loop and has a higher resolution. In Windows NT 3.5, the resolution can be set to 1 msec using timeBeginPeriod(). See the help for timeSetEvent() and the Multimedia overview. Any application using Multimedia calls must include MMSYSTEM.H, and must link with WINMM.LIB.

看来是没有什么好办法了，自己写了一个Timer线程类基本实现了。
