Considering that the OP wrote:
Dependent on circumstances, MyTimerProc() may need to ask for user intervention [...] - It sounds like the timer function is doing something other than showing a message box. Because of that, stopping the time may not be such a good idea...

Then, just stop the timer when the messagebox has to be shown. The timer proc (I assume) will have to wait for a response anyway.
Else, another way could be to let the timer proc start a thread that shows the messagebox. That way, the thread can keep on working, and the thread is responsible for getting input from the message box.

Killing, then re-enabling the timer looks to be the way forward. A little annoyed I didn't think of it myself!
Thanks for the input everyone!

Show a Dialog instead of message box and kill the timer.
Then notify the parent class to start the timer, when the dialog is about to destroy.

Not sure why your post had a score of 3, you gave the same advice that I'd give. Kill the timer in MyTimerProc() and then re-set it after the UI is dismissed.

There's nothing wrong with your code. Using a critical section is pointless since you've only got one thread. Same goes for the other synchronisation primitives.

When all of the dust settles, does it even matter when, or even if, he votes?

 Not really that it matters, but IMO they should be thankful when they get help, but they don't do..

Last time I checked, "thanks for answer" was being thankful. That in itself is all that's necessary to express thanks. Voting is nothing but extra.

Here's a Win95 compatible way of doing it:
DWORD dwAttrib = GetFileAttributes(psPath);
if(0xFFFFFFFF == dwAttrib)
dwAttrib = 0;
if(0 != (dwAttrib&FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY))

Hi all,
I am writing one win32 Application using VC++.NET 2003. I am getting one wired error in my thread proc. I am creating one thread using CreateThread() function.
this->m_threadHwnd = CreateThread(NULL, 0, ThreadFunc, this, 0, NULL);
But when I am using Sleep() function in this ThreadFunc() it gives me error like “There is no source code available for the current location”. Sleep() function is working fine with other methods but not with ThreadFunc(). Can I know hoe can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Priyank

Possibly, you are trying to step in to Sleep API while debugging, isn't it ?

Perhaps a little bit off topic, but it may solve your problem anyway...
The call to ::Sleep() should probably be removed.
When mentioning a sleep operation together with multithreading, chances are that the multithreading concept is not quite understood. Even the use of ::Sleep() is a warning sign itself.
Read about why ::Sleep() should be avoided here[^].
Read about how multithreading should be done here[^].
I humbly advise you to read the articles since they will prevent you from doing common mistakes that you will have a hard time tracking down later.

Thanks John, it took me a little while to understand what you meant though.

My best source of that kind of information is CP; meaning you and others on the boards.

VB was ok and VB.Net is much better, and we can use that. They are programmers, but it is what they do not know that bothers me.
