dwPartialDiffMSec (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/5/2010

This global variable is used with DiffMSec to indicate the amount of time that has passed since the last time the scheduler examined the sleep queue.

DiffMSec accounts for the number of whole milliseconds that have passed, while dwPartialDiffMSec accounts for the number of timer counts not totaling one millisecond.

This variable is obsolete.

Syntax

extern DWORD dwPartialDiffMSec;

Parameters

None.

Return Value

None.

Remarks

dwPartialDiffMSec is updated in OEMIdle to account for the time between the last tick and the call to OEMIdle, as well as time that has passed while the CPU is idling.

dwPartialDiffMSec allows the system to recognize that time has passed even if it is less than one millisecond.

Requirements

Windows Embedded CE Windows CE 3.0 and later
