timeBeginPeriod

	WORD timeBeginPeriod(wPeriod)
	WORD wPeriod;

The timeBeginPeriod function sets the minimum (lowest number of milliseconds) timer resolution that an application or driver is going to use. Call this function immediately before starting to use timer-event services, and call timeEndPeriod immediately after finishing with the timer-event services.

Parameters

wPeriod

Specifies the minimum timer-event resolution that the application or driver will use.

Return Value

Returns zero if successful. Returns TIMERR_NOCANDO if the specified wPeriod resolution value is out of range.

Comments

For each call to timeBeginPeriod, you must call timeEndPeriod with a matching wPeriod value. An application or driver can make multiple calls to timeBeginPeriod,as long as each timeBeginPeriod call is matched with a timeEndPeriod call.
