SC_GetTickCount (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/5/2010
This function is called from the OAL and retrieves the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since Windows Embedded CE was started.
Syntax
DWORD SC_GetTickCount(void);
Parameters
None.
Return Value
The number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started indicates success.
Remarks
The resolution of the system timer is based on the OEM's setting. Check with the OEM for details.
The elapsed time is stored as a DWORD value. Therefore, the time wraps around to 0 if the system is run continuously for 49.7 days.
Note
The return value must be in sync with CurMSec. The return value must be CurMSec or CurMSec + 1 if the timer tick is shifted by more than 1 ms due to a timer reprogram in OEMIdle.
An OEM should always return CurMSec if OEMIdle never reprograms a timer.
Requirements
| Header | kernel.h |
| Library | Nkstub.lib |
| Windows Embedded CE | Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later |
