Get an unsigned int milliseconds out of chrono::duration

Question

For a winapi wrapper I want to use chrono for a duration given to the call. The code example:

bool setTimer(std::chrono::duration

        

Answer 1

You can use the following code:

auto now = chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();

auto timeMillis = chrono::duration_cast(now.time_since_epoch()).count();
