Thread: Proper use of duo timers.......

Just asking if this is the proper way to do it. I haven't tested it out yet(too much work). *cough* Here it goes........

Code:

const int ID_TIMER= 1;
const int ID_TIMER2= 2;

WM_CREATE:
 SetTimer(hwnd, ID_TIMER, 100, NULL);
 SetTimer(hwnd, ID_TIMER2, 500, NULL);
 break;
WM_TIMER:
 {          // Everytime I make a timer I always use brackets, don't ask why
  if(ID_TIMER==wParam) {
  DoThis(); }
  if(ID_TIMER2==wParam) {
  DoSomethingElse(); }
 }
 break;

don't forget to KillTimer() at some point. and why do you feel the need to comment the use of brackets there? It's not abnormal to use brackets in a case.

I know that I have to kill both timers. Also, some people on these forums are a little picky. I was just trying to avoid bashing ya' know. Didn't want someone to reply to the post saying, "Only idiots use brackets" or anything like that. I don't know why some programmers say things like that.

Anyways, I hope this duo timer thing works in my game.
