SetTimer() help

[Valius]

I'm trying to set up a timer using SetTimer(); but I'm not completely sure how it all works together. I understand that you set up a timer and when the time has expired, it calls a functions. I guess I'm just confused on all the technicality of it. I tried to look in MSDN, but couldn't really find anything to help me understand how to set up the the CALLBACK function and how it all works togeter. If someone could explain this to me or direct me to a good website I would be greatly apprecitive. Thanks in advance.

The third parameter in SetTimer specifies the address of the application-supplied TimerProc callback function that processes the WM_TIMER messages. If this parameter is NULL, the WM_TIMER messages are placed in the application's message queue and handled by the CWnd object.
viz you can call SetTimer

SetTimer(1, 10000, NULL);

and handle messages in OnTimer function

CXxx::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{

switch(nIDEvent)
{
case 1:
AfxMessageBox("Hello"
break;


}

Not return value of SetTimer function can be passed to KillTimer function to kill specific Timer.

CDialog::OnTimer
}
