TimerSleep - Example Code

This example demonstrates how to call a particular function at a periodic rate. MyWorkerFunction() is called every four milliseconds. If the function returns false (zero), the loop is terminated.

int MyWorkerFunction(void);

APIRET rc;
ULONG rc2;
ULONG ulSleepDuration = 4;
int fLoop;

/* Change this thread's priority to time-critical             */
rc = DosSetPriority(PRTYS_THREAD, PRTYC_TIMECRITICAL, 0, 0);

/* Keep looping until fLoop becomes zero.                     */
do
{
  rc2 = TimerSleep(ulSleepDuration, 0);  /* Sleep             */
  fLoop = MyWorkerFunction();            /* Call the worker   */
}
while (fLoop);
