  <p>I am looking to create a timer in c++ ,in a console win32 application .I google it and and find most results for SetTimer() ,but as example used for window control or others .</p>
  
  <p>I need my timer to start a count ,right after the timer starts i call a function and after the timer ends ,i call an other function .I will be using threads .</p>
  
  <p>I am a rookie in c++ ,so could this be done with SetTimer function ? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks .</p>
