Worker Thread and Timer

[lsvedin]

I have a worker thread that needs a timer, but since it's not associated with a window, I can't use the CWnd::OnTimer routine. How do I go about setting up a timer within the worker thread?

Yesm you can. Set the window parameter to NULL and provide a callback function to handle the message.

VOID CALLBACK TimerProc( HWND hwnd,
UINT uMsg,
UINT_PTR idEvent,
DWORD dwTime
);

Take a look in MSDN at SetTimer.
