Question

I need more than one timer using the ::SetTimer function having the same EventID. Is this possible/a good idea to create multiple window handles with ::CreateWindow, and then assign each timer to the created window handles? Any other choices?

---

Edit: Anyway, I only want to know what happens here:

int eventID = 0;
hWnd1 = ::CreateWindow(...);
hWnd2 = ::CreateWindow(...);
::SetTimer(hWnd1, eventID, ...);
::SetTimer(hWnd2, eventID, ...);

Does every hWnd has it’s own eventID list? and do they get handled independently? I don’t want to discuss whether this design makes sense or not..

The timer identifier, nIDEvent, is
specific to the associated window.
Another window can have its own timer
which has the same identifier as a
timer owned by another window. The
timers are distinct.
