the gif animation can have a diferent delay between the frames. the SetTimer() makes a non Multimedia Timers.... the KillTimer() destroy the timer: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...=vs.85%29.aspx but: "The KillTimer function does not remove WM_TIMER messages already posted to the message queue." so.... how can i destroy the timer correctly?
i see some problems:
1 - when the window wins the focus, i lose 1 timer that change the window icon;
2 - another timer isn't executed. (if i use the same delay between the frames, no timers stops) so. how can i destroy a timer correctly? (for then create a new timer with a new interval)
(finally i edit the post.... i'm so sorry to all. i didn't these before because i was getting very problems)
Code:
//creating the timer using an invisible window:
timerid=SetTimer(WindowTimer, (UINT_PTR)this, intInterval,NULL);
//window procedure:
HANDLE myEvent = CreateEvent(NULL, TRUE, FALSE, NULL);
static LRESULT CALLBACK TimerWindow(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch(msg)
{
case WM_TIMER:
{
Timer* obj=(Timer*)wParam;
if(obj->timerprocedure!=nullptr)
{
obj->timerprocedure();
SetEvent(obj->myEvent);
}
else
DebugText("no timer");
}
break;
default:
return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
}
return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
}
//destroying the timer:
MsgWaitForMultipleObjects(1, &myEvent,FALSE, INFINITE, QS_TIMER);
CloseHandle(myEvent);
KillTimer(WindowTimer,(UINT_PTR)timerid);1 - when the window wins the focus, i lose 1 timer that change the window icon;
2 - another timer isn't executed. (if i use the same delay between the frames, no timers stops) so. how can i destroy a timer correctly? (for then create a new timer with a new interval)
