Thread: Timer to terminate program

I have to write a program that will terminate after 30 seconds, I have not a clue on how to go about ending it in the specified time frame...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

I recommend using a loop within loop. Use simple counting loops

My OS is XP home, I'm using Microsoft's Visual C++ 6.0, & this will be a console app.

create a DWORD value and continuously get do timeGetTime()...add it to itself over and over, and then have this all in a while loop

Code:

while (DWORD value < 30000)
{
	DWORD value = timeGetTime();
	DWORD value += DWORD value;
}

of course, thats just something thrown randomly together, but it might work

Right on! Thanks everyone.
