CWaitableTimer v1.03 An MFC class for Win32 waitable timers

Welcome to CWaitableTimer, an MFC class to support access to the Win32 APIs dealing with waitable timers which were introduced in NT 4 and is also available in Windows 98 and later.

Features

• Simple and clean C++ interface.
• The code is Unicode enabled and build configurations are provided.
• Even though waitable timers are not available on Windows 95 or NT 3.x, the code will do the right thing on these operating systems without causing the OS loader to cause your program to fail to load, with the error message "Call to function not defined... ".

The enclosed zip file contains the CWaitableTimer source code and a simple test program which exercises all of the class methods.

Copyright
