Put a TTimer into TService cause error 1053 on service strat-up.

The timer needs a HWND because creates its own window, and this can't works in a service.

How can I create something to trigger a procedure after XXX ms.?

UPDATE

The solution is a waitable timer: Timer Queue in Windows Service

A user32 timer is the wrong object for use in a service. Such timers rely on the message queue. Look to waitable timers or timer queues. – David Heffernan Jul 19 '18 at 10:26
