Uso delle code timer

Nell'esempio seguente viene creata una routine timer che verrà eseguita da un thread da una coda timer dopo un ritardo di 10 secondi. Prima di tutto, il codice usa la funzione CreateEvent per creare un oggetto evento segnalato al completamento del thread della coda timer. Crea quindi una coda timer e un timer della coda timer, usando rispettivamente le funzioni CreateTimerQueue e CreateTimerQueueTimer. Il codice usa la funzione WaitForSingleObject per determinare quando è stata completata la routine timer. Infine, il codice chiama DeleteTimerQueue per pulire.

Per altre informazioni sulla routine timer, vedere WaitOrTimerCallback.
