SetTimer function

Declaration

function SetTimer(Wnd: HWND; nIDEvent: UINT_PTR; uElapse: UINT; 
 lpTimerFunc: TTimerProc): UINT_PTR

Description

Every timer has a unique ID, which is reported in the timer message and can be used to reset or kill the timer.

When the time has elapsed, the callback procedure is invoked. If no procedure is given, a WM_TIMER message is sent to the window. If also no window is given, the function fails.

When the timer already exists, it is reset to the new interval.
