And..?

And why without? This is one of rare cases when a timer can be good for something. Did somebody ordered you to do so?

Using timer the process will be too slow

Wrong. Who told you so? If the purpose of the timer is to delay, and other threads are not slow down.
However, one could screw up everything, even a good thing.
I always recommend avoiding timers, using them is a really bad and unsafe thing in most situation when inexperienced or naive people try to use them, but your case is the one where it's perfectly fine.

That shouldn't be too hard :-D

Wendelius 16-Aug-12 17:08pm

True :)

Let me see... Aha! using SetTimer... So, you have totally ignored the OP's requirement to do it without using timer!
Therefore, I voted 5.
If you met this "requirement", I would probably down-vote it.

Cheers,

I took the liberty to interpret the question so that OP doesn't want to embed the timer in his app/window. So a timer in a library would still satisfy the criteria.
