Does C++ has some built in timer class with same idea as .NET System.Threading.Timer
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.timer.aspx
Or I need to implement it myself ? :-(. Maybe there is some library , plz.
Thanks.
Standard C++ does not have one built in.
If you are using the
Win32API, which seems likely if you are coming from.NET, there are various options, such asSetTimer(which requires a message loop), orCreateTimerQueueTimer(which does not require a message loop).As said in the comments, most GUI frameworks will have an asynchronous timer available.
If you are looking for something more generic, or something that doesn’t require a GUI framework (like the
Win32API), you should have a look atboost::asio.
