PeekMessage in .Net

[Jeff]

What is the .Net Framework equivalent of the Windows API function
PeekMessage? Or any other method that will do the same thing. I simply
need to check to see if there are messages waiting to be processed.

Thanks!

Jeff,

There is no equivalent in the .NET framework. However, you can call the
API through the P/Invoke layer, using the following declarations:

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct MSG
{
public IntPtr hwnd;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)]
public int message;
public IntPtr wParam;
public IntPtr lParam;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)]
public int time;
public Point pt;
}

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, SetLastError=true)]
public static extern bool PeekMessage(
ref MSG lpMsg,
IntPtr hWnd,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] wMsgFilterMin,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] wMsgFilterMax,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] wRemoveMsg);

Hope this helps.
