How to wait for a given time

Use the At() function to set the timer to complete at a specific time.

The following example suspends the thread until the current time plus ten seconds.

// get current time (microseconds since 0AD nominal Gregorian)
TTime time;
time.HomeTime();

// add ten seconds to the time
TTimeIntervalSeconds timeIntervalSeconds(10);
time += timeIntervalSeconds;

// issue and wait
timer.At(timerStatus,time);
User::WaitForRequest(timerStatus);
