[ROOT] How to program a simple timeout?

Hi,

I want to have a simple timeout which I can use a conditional on, like:

cout << "Start" << endl;
    TTimer tm(500, kFALSE);
    tm.TurnOn();

    while (!tm.HasTimedOut())
        usleep(1);
    tm.TurnOff();
cout << "Timed out." << endl;

I cannot find out how I can realize this using a TTimer which doesn't
depend on the eventloop (asynchronous).

Maybe somebody can help me?

Thanks in advance,
Thomas.
