Usually timers are referred in MFC and Visual C++ to explain the arbitrary lapse of time. The programmers are the main people who usually do these changes in according to need. They do it using a specific application. Expert programmers also say that outside people or outside user usually do not have any interactions with timers and they also cannot change it. However programmers know all about it and they are the people who can change it whenever they want. Basically programmers know all the coding system and they also know how to perform a specific task. Knowing all these things, the programmers also understand how a specific application works and what are the advantages and disadvantages.
