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,
There certainly is. See <chrono> and <thread>. Spawn a thread, then use
the facilities in <chrono> to poke something, at regular intervals.
In other words, roll your own. There is no mechanism for which you
only need a callback function (or functor) and a set-up call. Thanks
for confirming.
Do you think that java.util.Timer is just a single function call, too?
Well, I couldn't really care less, even if I tried. I was comparing
your proposal with MS Windows API's SetTimer, the only familiar to me
solution.
