Timer example...

[spyro]

Hi
I need a little timer example which uses the SetTimer function, because i wasn't able to get it working.
If someone has a example post it please.

No idea what SetTimer you're talking about but search Google (yes it's easy) or:

http://www.koders.com/?s=SetTimer&_%3Ala=Cpp&_%3Ali=*

[spyro]

Here is the definition of the function:

Code: Select all

UINT_PTR SetTimer(      

    HWND hWnd,
    UINT_PTR nIDEvent,
    UINT uElapse,
    TIMERPROC lpTimerFunc
);

Here is the full definition -> Link
I tried to replace the last parameter of this function (IpTimerFunc) with the name of my function, but it didn't work.
Any ideas?

What's the compiler error?

[spyro]

Here is the error

Code: Select all

expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '(' token 
expected `,' or `;' before '(' token 
[Build Error]  [main.o] Error 1 

PS: I'm using DevCPP

And your code?

[spyro]

Code: Select all

#include <windows.h>

void test()
{
}

SetTimer(hwnd, NULL, 1000, test);

int main()
{
}

You try to call a function outside of any other function. That won't work in c++.
Put the SetTimer within the braces {} of main()

[spyro]

Yeah!
Thank you CuteAlien, the timer works now!
