I'm trying to use a timer function so that part of my code will excecute 10 seconds after the program has been run.

so this is basically what I have,





At the moment the timer makes no difference. It still performs the code the second the program is run.

Can someone help please?

Thanks

The timer starts when your machine boots, not when the program starts. You need to grab a snapshot of the timer when you startand then wait until the timer less that snapshot exceeds 10000:

Try TDK's timer tutorial, that should be pretty useful if you're confused with timer functions
