~~[quote=Anita post_id=69 time=1487584009 user_id=70]~~ Hi all,

I need to know how can I make a delay of ~1msec in that platform.

beside the Order sleep() that gives me delay in seconds.

Thanks, [/quote] If you are building a console application then include windows header file and use sleep() function. Here is an example,

[code]// header files here
#include <windows.h>

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) {

	// code

	Sleep(1);

	return 0;

}[/code]

If you are using Windows Application then follow this:

1. Define a timer ID on top of your cpp file
[code]#define MY_TIMER_ID (WM_USER + 200)[/code]

2. Declare a timer variable inside your class definition in header file

[code]class MainDlg : public CDialogEx {

	// defs

	UINT_PTR m_MyTimer;

}[/code]

3. Implement your timer function,

[code]void MainDlg::OnTimer(UINT_PTR nIDEvent) {

	// use nIDEvent to detect if you have multiple timers

	// your code



	CDialogEx::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}[/code]

4. Start your timer for example in OnInitDialog()

[code]BOOL MainDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
	CDialogEx::OnInitDialog();
	// Code
	m_MyTimer = SetTimer(MY_TIMER_ID, 1, NULL);
}[/code]

5. Kill your timer when you are done. Example follows,

[code]void MainDlg::OnClose( ) {
	// Code
	if (!KillTimer (m_MyTimer))
		MessageBox(_T("Could not kill timer!"));
	CDialogEx::OnClose();
}[/code]
