timer message missing

[Deepak Patil]

Dear developers,
I am using 5 timers at a time . One of my timer is of 100ms and others
are of 1 sec. Sometimes my 1 sec timer is getting missed. It is quite frequent which is not acceptable for my programme as it is real time application. I am not using multithreding. Is it possible to prioritise the timer message by some means?

Thank you.

The windows timer messages are proceesed by the windows message queue. If one of the timer events (WM_TIMER) is there in the queue, windows will not put the other timer messages even its set duration has elapsed. U can try out with multimedia directX functions.

Or, avoid the messages going into the queue by using the callback form of the timer use - these fire immediately, and bypass the message queue.
