You can use the GetTickCount function to get the time elapsed in miliseconds. Remember to put #include in your code.
If you do this:

int time1 = GetTickCount();do_something();int time2 = GetTickCount();int diff = time2 - time1;

Then you get the time elapsed between the first and second calls to GetTickCount.

I prefer to use the performance timers (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632592(VS.85).aspx) in my code. I have a video on my website that shows you how to set them up and use them to count the # of FPS.
