WM_TIMER Not coming to the Window

I have set a Timer for 100 ms using SetTimer fn. It returns non zero value but WM_TIMER message is not coming to the window.
It's not coming to the OnTimer at all. I have also used spy to view WM_TIMER message. Spy also didn't get any WM_TIMER message for that wnd.
If anybody have any clue, pl help. Thanks in advance.

Hi.

Check the following.
1) Where did you put SetTimer func?
-> OnCreate or OnInitDialog is better.

2) Did you add WM_TIMER message to your message handler?

Hi.

afx_msg void OnTimer(UINT nTimerID);

///////////////////////////////////////
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMainWindow, CFrameWindow)
ON_WM_CREATE()
ON_WM_TIMER()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

int CMainWindow::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpcs)
{
.....................
if(!SetTimer(ID_TIMER, 100, NULL)) {
MessageBox("Error: SetTimer failed");
return -1;
}
return 0;
}

void CMainWindow::OnTimer(UINT nTimerID)
{
your job
}

I assume that you don't use callback function.
Define ID_TIMER 200(whatever) at resource.h
Or directly use some number at SetTimer.

What window, what type of the application? Could you be more specific?
