Specifies the identifier of the timer to be destroyed. If the window handle passed to SetTimer is valid, this parameter must be the same as the uIDEvent value passed to SetTimer. If the application calls SetTimer with hWnd set to NULL, this parameter must be the timer identifier returned by SetTimer.
