You could call a function from the EventLoop. In this function you decide then whether
the second has been passed or not. Do the
appropriate settings and return to the loop. So the system can always interrupt the
process.
Use a short time constant, e.g. 5 or 10 for the EvtGetEvent and let your timer object
make the decision.
Also SysGetTimerTicksPerSecond() and GetTimerTicks() might be useful if you need to
get 1/100 sec.
