CBaseReferenceClock::GetPrivateTime

A version of this page is also available for

Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3

4/8/2010

Retrieves the current reference time.

Syntax

virtual REFERENCE_TIME GetPrivateTime( );

Return Value

Returns the current reference time, in 100-nanosecond units.

Remarks

GetPrivateTime represents the actual clock.

GetTime is the externally used member function.

Derived classes will probably override this method, but not GetTime itself.

The important point about GetPrivateTime is that it is allowed to go backward.

This class's GetTime member function keeps returning the last time returned by GetTime until GetPrivateTime catches up.
