A thread problem...

[pradish]

Hi all

How can we make the Sleep(milliseconds) function to be more
accurate.i:e if it is Sleep(500), The Thread should wakeup exactly after
500ms. I need this to be implemented in workerthread.

Your valueable suggestions are welcome.

The Sleep function is never really accurate. Windows is not a realtime operating system. However, you might get beter accuracy with multimedia timers. Do a search for them on codeguru or google.

Take a look at the Multimedia Timers SDK documentation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_multimedia_timers.asp).
