怎样使用多媒体定时器

SetTimer定时的分辨率最小到50ms,在需要更小的定时间隔时他就无能为力了，多媒体定时器在精确定实时中很有用处，能够定时到一毫秒，不过得到这样的好处是要付出代价的，使用起来略嫌麻烦，下面1-6步就是使用方法，不对之处请指正。

原来写时使用了使用了英文注释，比较简单就不改了。

1.Link winmm.lib

＃i nclude <mmsystem.h>

#pragma comment(lib, "winmm.lib")

2.Define variables

#define TARGET_RESOLUTION 1 // 1-millisecond target resolution

int wTimerID; // store timer ID

int msInterval; // delay

UINT wTimerRes; // end resolution

3.Obtaining and setting timer resolution

//Obtaining timer resolution

TIMECAPS tc;

if (timeGetDevCaps(&tc, sizeof(TIMECAPS)) != TIMERR_NOERROR)

{

MessageBox("Obtaining timer resolution error");

return;

}

wTimerRes = min(max(tc.wPeriodMin, TARGET_RESOLUTION), tc.wPeriodMax);

//setting timer resolution

timeBeginPeriod(wTimerRes);

4.Starting a Single/Periodic Timer Event

wTimerID=timeSetEvent(

msInterval, // delay

wTimerRes, // resolution

MMTimerProc, // callback function

(DWORD)UserData,// User Data, it is sent to dwUser of the callback function //parameter

TIME_PERIODIC // TIME_PERIODIC or TIME_ONESHOT

);

5.Writing a Timer Callback Function



void CALLBACK MMTimerProc(UINT wTimerID, UINT msg,

DWORD dwUser, DWORD dw1, DWORD dw2)

{

//timer routine

}

6.Canceling a Timer Event



if(wTimerID) // is timer event pending?

{

timeKillEvent(npSeq->wTimerID); // cancel the event

wTimerID = 0;

}





7.Error Shoting

1.DWORD dwUserData = (DWORD)this; //UserData

//if it is used in global area will get the following error



error C2355: 'this' : can only be referenced inside non-static member functions



2. int msInterval;

msInterval = 1;



//if it is used in global area will get the following error



error C2501: 'msInterval' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

error C2374: 'msInterval' : redefinition; multiple initialization



8.Unserstanding Difficult Points

1. wTimerRes = min(max(tc.wPeriodMin, TARGET_RESOLUTION), tc.wPeriodMax);
