Well, I could be wrong but a while ago, I did look at using Timer events
to run some code asynchronous and after some experimentation came to the
conclusion that Timer event does not run in a separate thread from the
rest of code so we would probably have a race condition but not
conflicts due to two pieces of code executing concurrently.

If we only have to worry about race condition, it shouldn't be material
as the code being discussed should enable mouse clicking/screen
updating/whatever before it finish and switch to the other procedure
waiting to be executed.

Race conditions aside, I'm more concerned about a future
developer forgetting about the delicate situation and using
SetFocus, SelectObject, etc. in a timer event.

I think(?) Windows task switching has a (relatively small?)
chance of messing things over too.
