Hi,
I'm a new one for c++. I want to call a function in time intervals. (as an example lets say for every 100ms ). How can I do that. Please help:S
Thank you

There are other ways too, some os dependent and some not. None of them are very nice.

dos.h is only supported bo borland's TurboC and TurboC++ compilers, Microsoft VC q1.52C (and earlier), and maybe some very old versions of Watcom C. No other compilers has it. All those compilers are dead in the commercial world and only used by hobbiests today.

There is a sleep function in windows. For example:
Sleep(100); //will sleep for 100 ms and then wake up
You can use this to call your function every x ms.
