UINT_PTR SetTimer( HWND hWnd,
UINT_PTR nIDEvent,
UINT uElapse,
TIMERPROC lpTimerFunc
);
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.
Windows NT/2000/XP: If uElapse is greater than 0x7fffffff, the timeout is set to 1.
Windows 2000/XP: If uElapse is less than 10, the timeout is set to 10.
Windows Server 2003: If uElapse is greater than 0x7fffffff, the timeout is set to 0x7fffffff.
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.
