Question about timers

[Elgan]

WM_TIMER wont work as you havent setup a timer to fire it with your window. or did i miss it??

[James]

You missed it.. It is called in wm_Create

case WM_CREATE:
        {
            test(hWndTimer);
            SetTimer( myTimer, NULL, USER_TIMER_MINIMUM, NULL );
        }
        break;

        case WM_TIMER:
        {
            test(hWndTimer);
            GetClientRect( myTimer, &rc );
            InvalidateRect( myTimer, &rc, TRUE );
        }
        break; 

</span></span>

that doesnt make a timer...where is the set timer?

[James]

Elg, I must be super confused. At any rate, I figured it out with what RR said about creating a thread. It's working perfectly now THANK YOU!!!!!!
