In java, they have a class where you can create a timer which will
repeatedly call a routine after a time period. Is there something
like this in C++ Visual Studio 2010?
In C++ there is no such thing, but there can be something in the library
for your platform (MS Windows, I am guessing). See 'SetTimer' Windows
API function.
Victor, or course, has answered your question -- no, not in
standard C++, but yes in the win32 api.
Having said that, it is worth noting that C++11 does introduce
the very basic functionality of being able to sleep for a
certain amount of time:
void std::this_thread::sleep_until(...)
void std::this_thread::sleep_for(...)
Prior to C++11, the standard was silent on sleep-type functions.
