You have to specifically handle the WM_TIMER message in your dialog box

Here is what you need to do:

in the h file

afx_msg void OnTimer(UINT);

in the cpp file:

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyDialog,CDialog)
    ....
    ON_WM_TIMER()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

void CMyDialog::OnTimer(UINT nEventID)
{
    CDialog::OnTimer(nEventID);
}

VStudio write all this code for you when you ask it to handle the WM_TIMER
message from the property window for that class.

Hello everyone,

I created a standard MFC application with VS 2003 .net, and I created a
Dialog based window. I am trying to use CWnd::SetTimer() and
CWnd::OnTimer() in order to setup a timer, but unfortunately, when I
try to build my application, it keeps telling me that my Dialog class
does not have a method OnTimer() but I thought my Dialog window should
inherit from CWnd and therefore I should be able to override this
method?

Thanks
