Timers in DLL & Windows XP

[Guest]

Hi

I have a regular DLL deriverd from CWinApp that uses a Timer to tick at 10m

SetTimer(NULL,1,10,TimerProc

I developed a windows UI application that works fine. When I created a console app the Timers messages are not posted
Even on Windows XP I have the similar problem

Any pointers will be appreciated

Thanks in advanc

SetTimer can't be used in a console application, SetTimer needs a Windows
Handle (you set it to NULL) and a corresponding windows message pump.

The article states that WinMain calls Run() to start an application's
message loop... Your console App does not have such entry point...

Can I use any other options to get the timer tick, So that the DLL can be used with a console application. Also I have the timer event not generated in Windows XP. Any ideas

Thank
