This example show you how to create a timer, without using the timer control on a form but with using API commands.
This timer can be used in classes, in DLL's, and will work fine. No need for a form with a timer on it.
This timer can also have an interval higher than 64000ms.

Rock on. Will play around with it.
Can you tell me if using this API timer would make a program run more smoothly, even if the time intervals were available using the timer object?
Smoother than what????
Smoother than the timer object you mean?
Probably, more than likely.
Do a bench test.
The timer object should really have any impact on your apps performance (within reason) and bottle necks that slow the PC down are either down to 2 things...
1) Rubbish code in timer event
2) Huge procedures called from timer event that take ages and "hang" your app.
The timer object has minimal impact.
