KeSetTimer (Not Implemented)

**blueshogun96** · July 22nd, 2004

I was just curious if someone could tell me the significance of KeSetTimer? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I usually get this message with "Unpopular" XDK versions...

KeSetTimer sets up a timer in the xbox timer queue and after the DueTime is expired the object is set to a signaled state (so all threads waiting for it can now continue) also if a DPC (deferred procedur call) was specified it is placed in the DPC execution queue, so it is executed (later when special conditions occur).

So it is nothing more than an object which is set to a special state (signaled) after a special time (DueTime).

For more information I recomend you reading the NT DDK help. You can do it online: http://msdn.microsoft.com
