SetTimer/KillTimer

[chrisjk]

I'm using SetTimer to create an event which then executes a sub when it's elapsed. I assign the event a unique id (lUID in this code)

SetTimer frmMain.hwnd, lUID, lEventInterval, AddressOf TimerProc

but in the returning sub...

Sub TimerProc(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIDEvent As Long, ByVal uElapse As Long, ByVal lpTimerFunc As Long)
 
MsgBox nIDEvent
KillTimer frmMain.hwnd, nIDEvent
 
End Sub

nIDEvent always equals 275...what's up with that?

The timer isn't getting killed because 275 is not the ID I gave it. Since I'm setting multiple timers, it would be useful if the ID I assigned it could get returned so I know which timer it was that elapsed.

I hope somebody understands that, thanks

oh dear Penfold, looks like nobody knows

Guess I'll have to think of something else...
