Can someone please point me to the easiest way to have a timer in a Win32 service?
I suppose I could create a dummy window for this purpose or have a second thread do tick counts, but what’s best? Is there a more elegant way?
Thanks in advance.
You can use Timer Queues (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686796.aspx). They don’t require an HWND.
