I have MDI Child window. After using SetTimer function
it works only if the window is minimized.
What can be wrong here?

It is clear in debug mode (putting break points) as well as in real work if I add Beep function in WM_TIMER event

I don't know why is so, but to avoid this situation do not assotiate timer to a window. Create a separate timer proc and provide a null HWND to SetTimer.

I do not know as well. I tried to do so but had the same picture - it was working when MDI window was minimized. Voodoo.

Are you maybe doing loads of stuff, consuming loads of resources, in the window and, therefore, not giving any chance to have the WM_TIMER (which are of extremely low priority) messages processed?

No. But definitly I did something wrong (but what?).
By the way one more problem has taken place that is when I initiate arising of MessageBox then it does not appear, (it is invisible actually), but appears only if I push Alt button. I had no similar problems while using SDI.

Try to see what happens if you run your application on other computer.
