SetTimer
The SetTimer function creates a timer with the specified time-out value.
UINT SetTimer(
HWND hWnd, // handle of window for timer messages
UINT nIDEvent, // timer identifier
UINT uElapse, // time-out value
TIMERPROC lpTimerFunc // address of timer procedure
);
Parameters
hWnd
Handle to the window to be associated with the timer. This window must be owned by the calling thread. If this parameter is NULL, no window is associated with the timer and the nIDEvent parameter is ignored.
nIDEvent
Specifies a nonzero timer identifier. If the hWnd parameter is NULL, this parameter is ignored.
uElapse
Specifies the time-out value, in milliseconds.
lpTimerFunc
Pointer to the function to be notified when the time-out value elapses. For more information about the function, see TimerProc.
If lpTimerFunc is NULL, the system posts a WM_TIMER message to the application queue. The hwnd member of the message'sMSG structure contains the value of the hWnd parameter.
WM_TIMER
The WM_TIMER message is posted to the installing thread's message queue when a timer expires. You can process the message by providing a WM_TIMER case in the window procedure. Otherwise, the default window procedure will call the TimerProc callback function specified in the call to the SetTimer function used to install the timer.
