multi midea timers with windows timer

[2208]

timeSetEvent is used to use multimidea timers and setTimer() is used to windows timer either we can use boht timers at a time to perform different task or is there any problem to use both timer at a time what u will prefer we should use only one timer or can we use combination according to requirement

You can use them both at once. SetTimer is better integrated with the window messaging infrastructure (because it sends a WM_TIMER message on expiry). Multimedia timers are more accurate and have a higher resolution than SetTimer, but are harder to use (I suspect your callback runs in a different thread than the one you call timeSetEvent. Also, there are limitations on what you can call in hte callback).
