Help me with SetTimer function

[Drago]

Hi,
I need your help. I just like use SetTimer but
I don't understand what must I include like 3th parameter in SetTimer. I'd like to set timer on in MDI application in Main Frame before opening any views
Thank you in advance!

I tend to cheat and use SetTimer like this.

First define a UINT in your class to hold the timer value.

i.e.

class myclass : public CDialog
{
UINT m_nTimer;

....

}

Now somewhere in your code, InitDialog or what ever use:-

m_nTimer = SetTime(1,1000,NULL)

Add a WM_TIMER message using class wizard and poulate it with some code. i.e.

void myclass::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{
static char buff[80];

// Check to see if event was triggered by your timer.
// i.e. Can start several timers
if(nIDEvent==m_nTimer)
{
// Do your stuff
}
return TRUE;
}

I hope this helps.
Jason.

Hi.

If you want to use your callback funtion, you can put the function name at the 3rd parameter.

HTH.
