Alternatively, but I'm really not sure about the accuracy, writing a simple thread with a while-loop
which checks for the diff. in two TDateTimes, and outside of the thread, using the WaitFor() to
detect when the thread is killed, could be a solution?

The thread would look something like:

TMyThread::Execute()
{
        // Create a Wait-Event for the period IP-Testing is done:
        TEvent *evWaitFor = new TEvent(NULL, true, false, "");

        // Loop until a 10ms. DateTime diff is acceived:
        while (Now() - dtStart < TDateTime(0,0,10,0)
           { evWaitFor->WaitFor(1); }

       // Free up memory:
       delete evWaitFor;
}

I haven't tested this, so I'm really not sure about the CPU usage and the accuracy, but maybe it's
worth trying.
