Does anyone know how i would query the windows clock to get how much time has passes. I''m looking for a non-mfc way to do this because I am using direct x in my program. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks NextGenGamer

check out the timer class on my site:

How many Microsoft employees does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None, they just declare drakness as a new standard.

Try DWORD GetTickCount(VOID);

I''m trying to avoid GetTickCount() because it has caused problems for me with my animation. Isn''t there some sort of struct or function that will return the exact windows time

timeGetTime() is another one you should look into.

And QueryPerformanceCounter.

If not concerned with speed, look up the SYSTEMTIME structure.
