Hwnd substitute &0

I've been looking about for a way to get a timer going without using a timer on a form.

I got some intersting info from a few other posts ... but mainly this one.

So ... I can get the timer working in a module, and thats fine ... but someone made a reference to substituting the hwnd of a form for the value &0.

Is it just me ... or is it that if I start the timer this way, I am unable to stop it.

Any advice? :)

It might help if you knew what I was doing huh? :rolleyes:

Ok ... heres specifiacally what I am working with.

Code:

---

'In a module

Public Declare Function SetTimer Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As _
Long, ByVal nIDEvent As Long, ByVal uElapse As Long, ByVal _
lpTimerFunc As Long) As Long

Public Declare Function KillTimer Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As _
Long, ByVal nIDEvent As Long) As Long

Public Sub TimerProc(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal uMsg As _
Long, ByVal idEvent As Long, ByVal dwTime As Long)

'Code here

End Sub

'In a form

Private Sub Form_Load()

SetTimer Me.hwnd, 1, 1000, AddressOf TimerProc

End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)

KillTimer Me.hwnd, 1

End Sub

What I want to do is have the timer be started and killed by the module, not the form.

Thanks again.
