start timer synchronized with system time or use systemtime events

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi

I want to do something each minute, but it needs to be synch to Local
or system time
If I do:
SetTimer(hWnd, 1, 60000, TimerProc);
it will not be synch to the local time on PPC :-(

do you have a solution ?

thanks in advance

Si it needs to be synced with when the minute rolls? The only thing I can
think is to get the current time, determine how long it is until the next
roll and then set a timer based on that math.

thank for answer,

but I can not do it every min !
otherwise there will be a drift...

With testing you might be able to find out how often you need to reverify.
If strict accuracy is key then you need a hardware solution.
