    Question A thread problem...

    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.
