Re: Variable of Timer ?
SetTimer will always return the same
value nIDEvent you gave, unless a lack
of resource (then 0 is returned)
You should check if SetTimer return
0, indicating the timer is not started..
if(SetTimer(this, 2000, NULL) != 0)
.. timer is started..!
else
.. timer is not starded..!
Then, if your timer is started, you may
.... KillTimer(this),
If you call KillTimer(this) without being
sure SetTimer() have been successfully
started, it will also return a 0, indicating
he didn't find the specified timer to kill!

I added a timer by overwriting OnTimer:
void CTestPhasePPMDlg::OnTimer(UINT_PTR nIDEvent)
{
CDialog::OnTimer(nIDEvent);
}
I can Set the timer with
SetTimer(1, 2000, NULL);
but how shall I kill the timer with
KillTimer(...);
if I do not know the variable of the timer?
CWnd::SetTimer returns an UINT_PTR, you can store this value e.g. as a
member variable of your dialog class, and pass that value to
KillTimer.
e.g.
// Timer ID (member variable)
UINT_PTR m_nTimer;
// Set the timer
m_nTimer = SetTimer(1, 2000, NULL);
...
// Kill tht timer
KillTimer( m_nTimer );
m_nTimer = 0;
