The API doesn't support such timers but their not hard to program yourself.
Set the nilEventTimer in EvtGetEvent to generate a nilEvent x times a second
and use your form's event handler to intercept the nilEvent message. You
can look at the tick count or the seconds clock when you receive a nilEvent
to see if its time to perform your task. Be warned: do not intercept every
nilEvent. The UI will also generate and need to receive some of them to
work properly.
