Retrieves the current reference time.
virtual REFERENCE_TIME GetPrivateTime( );
Return Values
Returns the current reference time, in 100-nanosecond units.
Remarks
GetPrivateTime represents the actual clock. GetTimeis 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 will keep returning the last time returned by GetTime until GetPrivateTime catches up.
