timers with 1ms of precision

[Cambalinho]

i don't belive that there isn't timers with 1ms of precision, but i can't get any help. and i try search and nothing.
please can anyone give me something for start dooing a timer with 1ms of precision?

[VictorN]

Not 100 % sure about 1 ms, but try multimedia timers

i found these function

CreateTimerQueueTimer() maybe i find 1 sample. but, please see my class:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <Mmsystem.h>

int a;

    printf("%d\n",a);
}



void main()
{
    test.SetMilliSeconds(10);
    
    test.Start(TimerProcedure);
    
    
    getch();
    test.Destroy();
    
}

why i don't get 100ms( or 10ms, at least)?

anotherthing: i'm using VC++6, why CreateTimerQueueTimer() isn't in list?
how can i use it without a problems?

[VictorN]

From MSDN October 2000:

Requirements
Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows 2000.
Windows 95/98: Unsupported.
Header: Declared in Winbase.h; include Windows.h.
Library: Use Kernel32.lib.

and perhaps you will need the latest SDK (from February 2003) compatible with VC++6.0

sorry where i get that?

Use Google...

i don't test it, but i found here: http://wiki.tcl.tk/11970
thanks

it looks promising!

i can't execute the exe on my windows7 and i can't extract manualy

[VictorN]

Define "can't execute the exe"
BTW, could you install VC++6.0 on your windows7?

"Define "can't execute the exe""
just open the window and then close it.

"BTW, could you install VC++6.0 on your windows7?"
yes i could and was easy. but i install the Visual Studio 98(and better install SP6 for correct the errors).

[VictorN]

"Define "can't execute the exe""
just open the window and then close it.

But why do you execute it directly?
You have to start the PSDK-FULL.bat file!
