Windows timer procedure passing parameters

C

I'm using Win32 API timer procedure like this:

typedef struct my_parameter {
    //...
}MyParam,*pMyParam;

pMyParam my_param;

void MyTimeProc(HWND hwnd,UINT msg,UINT_PTR nIDEvent,DWORD tickCount) {
    //operations on varibale my_param.
    //......
}

//......
int MyStartTimerProcedure(HWND hwnd) {
    UINT msg=WM_TIMER;
    UINT_PTR nIDEvent;
    UINT uElapse=1000;
    TIMERPROC timeProc=MyTimeProc;

    SetTimer(hwnd,nIDEvent,uElapse,timeProc);

    //......


    return 0;
}

As you see,win32 function pointer TIMERPROC and Win32 API SetTimer both have serval parameters. If I want to change the global variable my_param as a parameter passing between SetTimer and TimerProc, the interface seems not supported.

What I have tried:

In order to replace the global variable , from what I know, I have to write some code to manage the variable between SetTimer and TimerProc, like this:

typedef struct timer_param {
    UINT_PTR param_idevent;
    void* param_data;
    timer_param* next;
}TimerParam,pTimerParam;
pTimerParam global_timerparam;
pTimerParam NewGlobalTimerParam() {
    pTimerParam param=(pTimerParam)calloc(sizeof(Timer),1);
    return param;
}
pTimerParam GetTimerParam() {
    return global_timerparam;
}
int AppendNewGlobalTimerParam(UINT_PTR nIDEvent,void* data) {
    pTimerParam param=NewGlobalTimerParam();
    if(param==NULL) return -1;
    param->param_idevent=nIDEvent;
    param->param_data=data;
    
    pTimerParam tmp=GetTimerParam();
    pTimerParam pre=tmp;
    while(tmp) {
        pre=tmp;
        tmp=tmp->next;
    }
    if(pre==NULL) pre=param;
    else pre->next=param;
    
    return 0;
}

pTimerParam FetchParamFromIDEvent(UINT_PTR nIDEvent) {
    pTimerParam tmp=GetTimerParam();
    while(tmp) {
        if(tmp->param_idevent==nIDEvent) return tmp;
        tmp=tmp->next;
    }
    return NULL;
}

//.....
typedef struct my_parameter {
    //...
}MyParam,*pMyParam;

void MyTimeProc(HWND hwnd,UINT msg,UINT_PTR nIDEvent,DWORD tickCount) {
    //get param from nIDEvent.
    pMyParam param=(pMyParam)FetchParamFromIDEvent(nIDEvent);
    if(param) {
        // operations on param.
        //....
    }
}

//......
int MyStartTimerProcedure(HWND hwnd) {
    UINT msg=WM_TIMER;
    UINT_PTR nIDEvent;
    UINT uElapse=1000;
    TIMERPROC timeProc=MyTimeProc;
    
    pMyParam my_param;
    //assignment of my_param
    // ......

    AppendNewGlobalTimerParam(nIDEvent,my_param);
    SetTimer(hwnd,nIDEvent,uElapse,timeProc);

    //......


    return 0;
}

Yes, it would work. But it's too much inconvenient. I have to do a lot to manage the parameters passing into the timerprocedure.
Is there a more easy way to pass parameters into the TIMERPROC function ?
