Greetings!

I need help with a console application I'm developing in C++...
I need to show a message in the program, however, that message should dissappear after some seconds by clearing the screen, maybe with the function system("cls")... My question is, is there any helpful function I can use as a timer to do that...?

Click that "my contributions" link under my name.

You want the following two:
"A better timer" -> a timer class (C++)
"Redefining clrscr()" -> a better solution for clearing the screen

Hope they help smile.gif
