If I use GetMilliseconds() to control timing in my app, will GetMilliseconds reset to zero when it goes beyond 2147483647 (4 byte unsigned integer)? And another timer question, is the only advantage of using Timer() which returns a float, that it can return a higher value than GetMilliseconds()?

hmm, i guess it will begin from -2,147,483,648 because integer is signed.

you can also use ResetTimer() and count the minutes,hours,days separate.

if me calc right it will happen after 24,85 days.
2147483647 / 1000 = Seconds = 2147483,647 / 3600 = Hours = 596,5232352777778 / 24 = Days 24,85513480324074

if the Timer go into a bigger value it will less accurate because it is a float number.
