Real Thread

[Saul]

Is possible to create a thread that periodically (eg. exactly every 2 seconds) processes some code independently by the process that created it?
Using a control timer (Timer1), if I enter in a loop of 10 seconds, the event Timer1_Timer is not fired for 10 seconds.
I tried to create a thread which uses a own timer but with no success!

Thanks in advance,
Saul
