I use two setTIMER:

SetTimer(3402,1000,NULL);

SetTimer(3401, 1200, NULL);

if (nIDEvent == 3401)

       {
           KillTimer(3402);

           KillTimer(3401);

but if the time of 3401 is bigger than the time of 3402 it doesn't work..why?

What I have tried:

I tried to put time of 3401 the same of time of 3402 and it works, but time of 3401 must be bigger for my program...thanks

mmm...it's strange because if I use a time of 3401 bigger then time of 3402 program dooesn't work

Member 14594285 6-Feb-20 4:57am

it doesn't work..timer for 3402 doesn't start

Member 14594285 6-Feb-20 4:58am

I didn't say that setTimer(3401) is inside function of setTimer(3402);

sorry..timer of 3402 starts but timer of 3401 doesn't start

As I said above, I tried the exact statements you have written in your question, and both timers start, and run until killed.

Solution 1

Timer 3402 did start but you did not check for it in your if condition. Try the if condition below.

C++

if (nIDEvent == 3401 || nIDEvent == 3402)
{
   KillTimer(3402);

   KillTimer(3401);

I solved, thanks

It is not necessary to test for both. I ran the code with only the test for 3401 and it successfully killed both timers.
