 |
|
I just want to have my PC beep every 30 minutes or so as a reminder not to slouch horribly and sit semi-properly
which would be easier on my CPU?
a simple
| Code: | loop:
Beep(3000, 600);
Sleep(whatever time);
goto loop; |
or while loop or something else?
I plan on putting it in the startup folder so it is always running in the background (FreeConole();) so I want to make sure it uses the least amount of resources as possible.
Thanks for any suggestions, manc.
(Also, what is the default build directory for Borland Builder C++ 2007? I need to find my .exe  )

| why don't you just use the built in scheduler that just so happens to be a windows feature?

Event driven programming FTW :) Well, if you want easy solutions (like batch), yeah, I second slovach: control panel -> scheduled tasks -> add scheduled task OR win+r control schedtasks.
The most user friendly way I see is win32, no window, but a tray icon w/ exit menu, then just create a timer, and here we go.

If you want to do it that way, just do a win32 project and you won't have a console.

Didn't work for me, I'm missing some adminstration kit or you're on Vista? Control schedtasks works tho. WXPSP3Pro w/ admin kits, guess you're on Vista?
