switch cases and timers

Hi all, i'm new to using multiple timers. Im trying to plan a short project. I was wondering if it's possible to store a value from one timer into a variable that a second timer would be able to use. The purpose would be to have TIMER_ONE check and redetermine at long intervals the value of var1 and have TIMER_TWO use that value for a different purpose on a short interval. Any ideas or is this possible at all?

thanks it would look something like this:

Code:

---

switch (nIDEvent)
{
case TIMER_ONE:

var1 = 10;
break;

case TIMER_TWO:

var2 = var1+5;
break;

}

is that an MS-Windows program where the timer functions were set with win32 api SetTimer() function ? If that is correct, then the timer events happen sequentiallly, not concurrently. So yes, the function to work something like you posted

try including windows.h and put sum infon under the case WM_TIMER just a guess tho, im not tht sure how WM_TIMER works. i just know how ton use it to calculate FPS in OpenGL apps :P

edit: look it up on msdn

im just not sure how to set it so that the variables dont go out of scope between the two timers...

thanks again

You could use static so that the variables keep there values when they go out of scope.

yes! that'll do just fine

thanks so much

later
