You are not doing what I thought you were doing. Without a window, message loop, and window procedure you cannot receive WM_TIMER messages, unless you set up a specific callback function to handle the messages (TimerProc in the documentation). This is doable, but it would probably be easier to implement something like this pseudo-code:

Code Select Expand


OuterLoop:
  tickCount = GetTickCount
  Generate random number between 1000 and 3000
  terminalCount = tickCount + random number
InnerLoop:
  ...
  poll keyboard, etc
  ...
  tickCount = GetTickCount
  if tickCount > terminalCount then
    simulate press of spacebar
    goto OuterLoop
  end if 
  goto InnerLoop

merak316, what exactly are you trying to do with your code? Right now, it seems to go nowhere - if you tell us
what your goal is, we could help you more (I think) e.g. why do you need the space bar pressed?

You are getting descriptions and pseudo-code instead of code because this looks like homework. You can generate the random number as I described, by calling nrandom. To understand why the timer is not working, and cannot work with your code, try the MSDN link that I provided.

If instead of:

Code Select Expand


.486
.model flat, stdcall
option casemap :none

include      C:\masm32\include\windows.inc
include      C:\masm32\include\kernel32.inc
include      C:\masm32\include\user32.inc
includelib   C:\masm32\lib\kernel32.lib
includelib   C:\masm32\lib\user32.lib

You use just:

Code Select Expand



include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc


Then you will be able to use the MASM32 macros and functions to display the value of registers, variables, etc. This will allow you to monitor what the code is actually doing, instead of having to guess.

Still nothin.

Bad error description.
