OnTimer( ) Please help!!

[lex]

Modify or write additional header or C++ program code for the program mfc02 such that,
when the window is closed, the program will display a message box that reports the
signature of OnTimer function. In your own words please explain how and where
the data type of the variable holding the signature was declared in the program below
and what is the purpose of the signature map.

Hi.

Your mistake is that you put SetTimer func at the wrong place.
You should put SetTimer in CMainWin::OnCreate().

You put WM_TIMER message at CMainWin message map and this is right.
But even though you put SetTimer in CApp, it is not related to
the message map of CMainWin.

Hope for help.
