How to Wait for a Given Time Period

Explains how to use timers to suspend a thread for a given time period.

Once the timer has been created and initialised, a request can be set up.

• start the timer to complete after a set period by calling After(), passing the required period in microseconds

• call User::WaitForRequest() to wait for completion

In the following example, the thread is suspended for a 1 second. timerStatus is a TRequestStatus.

timer.After(timerStatus,1000000);
User::WaitForRequest(timerStatus);
