thread and asyncronous timer delays

[smartprogrammer]

i have used both threads and asyncronous timer which is also one type of thread.

i am using windows 7  ,  my operating system is core i-5 dell 980 , labwindows 9.0

my issue :

when running thread i use delay to get desired time intervals and when using asyncronous timer i insert delay when calling timer which gives me desired time interval for specific task.

my issue is when i minimize and maximise my userinterface sevral times then i notice there is a significant delay in the intervals,

asyncronous timer and threads are no more absolute intervals after operating system interupts , kindly suggest a way to avoid this problem. 

thanks in advance .

I have two comments:

- Why do you have to use a delay if you are using timers? With the proper timer interval there should be no need for additional delays

- If you have to / want to use a delay, you should use Sleep () from the Windows SDK instead, particularly in multithreaded applications, see here

you were completly unable to understand my question and i think you havent  read it properly , well when you start an asyncronous timer then you have to give a delay in its arguments which gives desired interval after which you function will be called by asyncronous timer .

I am sorry for having misunderstood your question and will not bother you with my stupidity in the future
