[Dev-C++] Using MFC Timer Framework

[Bin Z. <bin...@ho...>]

Hi,

I was just assigned to work on a MFC application using the MFC Timer 
framework. Basically the application sets up several timer events. One event 
is set to run every one millisecond. Because of the machine constraints, it 
actually may get kicked off every 17 milliseconds if no other things 
running. However, when some other operations of the application are running, 
those other things may jump into the way. My questiona are:

1. whether each Timer event is set up to run in its own thread.
2. if the timer triggered event takes longer to finish than the time off 
value set, what will happen. Will those event be pilled up in the message 
queue so that once the application gets a chance, it will go back to pick 
them up.

Thanks,
