_Timer_SetTimer and AdlibRegister

[Burgaud]

Are these two functions exactly the same in performing a "func" periodically?

Am I correct that I can set multiple _Timer_SetTimer for a single "func" - to perform at different "time-intervals" whereas AdLibRegister is only a single timer?

Any other difference?

Thanks

you're right in your observation. I would try both. See the timing, memory use, etc. and use one or the other. I personally use AdLib only. Not all DLL call is better than AutoIt native. At times ... for example, WinGetPos() is way faster than the WinAPI counterpart.  I use all native func unless it'll not do. Then again, you'll have to evaluate what you find best  fit your code.

I owe you an apology. My assumption was based due to inexperience with timers.

The only way to have a reliable timer is with WM_TIMER.
So use Adlib unless, you must stop the world. Then, if you must, use _WinAPI_SetTimer/_WinAPI_KillTimer with WM_TIMER as shown in the link above.
The reason is described here.
