Re: SetTimer not firing

Hi there,

   I am calling SetTimer on a dialog derived from CDialogImpl,
unfortunately the timer never fires.

   I have tried using the callback method, but that didn't fire also, and
tbh it's a little awkward for my purpose, the WM_TIMER method is most
ideal...

....................

BEGIN_MSG_MAP(CSplashDialog)
...
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_ACTIVATE, OnActivate)
MESSAGE_HANDLER(WM_TIMER, OnTimer)
...
DEFAULT_REFLECTION_HANDLER()
END_MSG_MAP()

LRESULT CSplashDialog::OnActivate(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam,
BOOL& bHandled)
{
   static bool pBlnActivated = false;
   int pIntActivate = LOWORD(wParam);
   if(WA_ACTIVE==pIntActivate)
   {
       if(!pBlnActivated)
       {
           pBlnActivated = true;
           SetTimer(WM_USER + 1, 5000, NULL);
       }
   }
   return(0);
}

LRESULT CSplashDialog::OnTimer(UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam,
BOOL& bHandled)
{
   EndDialog(IDOK);
   return (0);
}

....................

   This *should* close the dialog after 5 seconds, but OnTimer never gets
fired. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Many thanks in advance!

Nick.
