SetTimer The SetTimer function creates a timer with the specified time-out value. UINT_PTR SetTimer( HWND hWnd, // handle to window UINT_PTR nIDEvent, // timer identifier UINT uElapse, // time-out value TIMERPROC lpTimerFunc // timer procedure ); Parameters hWnd [in] 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 [in] Specifies a nonzero timer identifier. If the hWnd parameter is NULL, this parameter is ignored. If the hWnd parameter is not NULL and the window specified by hWnd already has a timer with the value nIDEvent, then the existing timer is replaced by the new timer. When SetTimer replaces a timer, the timer is reset. Therefore, a message will be sent after the current time-out value elapses, but the previously set time-out value is ignored. uElapse [in] Specifies the time-out value, in milliseconds. lpTimerFunc [in] 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's MSG structure contains the value of the hWnd parameter. Return Values If the function succeeds and the hWnd parameter is NULL, the return value is an integer identifying the new timer. An application can pass this value to the KillTimer function to destroy the timer. If the function succeeds and the hWnd parameter is not NULL, then the return value is a nonzero integer. An application can pass the value of the nIDTimer parameter to the KillTimer function to destroy the timer.If the function fails to create a timer, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
The SetTimer function creates a timer with the specified time-out value. UINT_PTR SetTimer(
HWND hWnd, // handle to window
UINT_PTR nIDEvent, // timer identifier
UINT uElapse, // time-out value
TIMERPROC lpTimerFunc // timer procedure
);
Parameters
hWnd
[in] 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
[in] Specifies a nonzero timer identifier. If the hWnd parameter is NULL, this parameter is ignored.
If the hWnd parameter is not NULL and the window specified by hWnd already has a timer with the value nIDEvent, then the existing timer is replaced by the new timer. When SetTimer replaces a timer, the timer is reset. Therefore, a message will be sent after the current time-out value elapses, but the previously set time-out value is ignored. uElapse
[in] Specifies the time-out value, in milliseconds.
lpTimerFunc
[in] 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's MSG structure contains the value of the hWnd parameter. Return Values
If the function succeeds and the hWnd parameter is NULL, the return value is an integer identifying the new timer. An application can pass this value to the KillTimer function to destroy the timer. If the function succeeds and the hWnd parameter is not NULL, then the return value is a nonzero integer. An application can pass the value of the nIDTimer parameter to the KillTimer function to destroy the timer.If the function fails to create a timer, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
KillTimer，关闭定时器
OnTimer，响应定时器，这个在类向导里添加，消息名称好像是WM_TIMER具体用法非常简单，自己看msdn
