How can I achieve that? Any clues pls...... I have an idea that in Java we can use sleep() for threads but what abt in c++? In other words I want a method to be called after a particular time interval ..may be few seconds interval...

In other words I want a method to be called after a particular time interval ..may be few seconds interval... The _standard_ C++ language has no delay or sleep functions. These are platform specific functions. Specifically -- POSIX conforming platforms. ....and quite a few non-POSIX conforming platforms. But given these two facts... 1. POSIX is off-topic here. 2. The OP specifically stated he is using Microsoft's compiler, and therefore is not running on a POSIX platform. [snip off-topic drivel mentioning "unistd.h"] Kindly engage brain before posting, dipstick. -- Jack Klein Home: http://JK-Technology.Com FAQs for comp.lang.c http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html comp.lang.c++ http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ ftp://snurse-l.org/pub/acllc-c++/faq Back to top rajiv04 Guest Posted: Tue Jul 29, 2003 1:40 pm    Post subject: Re: Need delays in display Thanks a lot for your insight.

Robert, Please note that POSIX compliant platforms do have a sleep() function, the _functionality_ may be in other operating systems under other other names, such as semaphores, mutexes, signals and events.
