Is there a way to keep getting Windows messages while the UI-thread is suspended?

2 New Member
Hi, I have a simple question for you guys. In my WinForms app, I'm using WndProc to trap certain Windows messages. I sometimes need to block the Main UI-Thread (waiting for a worker thread or a modal dialog box to close). WndProc stops working once that happens. Is there a way to keep getting Windows messages while the UI-thread is suspended?

Thanks.

Don't suspend the thread, suspend the objects.
Do you have specific reason why the GUI thread HAS to be suspended? Generally that is the opposite of what you want.

Hi: I've searched newsgroups and various archives, including MSDN & MFC sources, but at this point failed to locate an accurate and simple implementation of WndProc function for MSWindows window objects. Something like: class BaseWindow { virtual LRESULT WndProc( HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

Hello: I am encountering a very weird issue with MDI child, Overriden WndProc function and hidden form. Basically, the application has two forms, Form1(parent form), Form2(Child form), Form2's WndProc method is overriden, if the message is CLOSE message, just hide the form. I first initialize and show the child form, then close it by clicking the Close(X) button, the overriden WndProc method gets invoked, and the form is hidden. Then

How can a WndProc be created inside a component? Currently I have a WndProc in my frmMain. It looks for WM_DEVICECHANGE messages for connection and removal events for a USB/Serial device. My frmMain uses a component to communicate with a USB/Serial device. I would prefer that this component handle the WM_DEVICECHANGE messages internally and only fires events to my frmMain when my USB device connects or disconnects. In case anyone...

Hello all; I'm trying to create a UI that's a little atypical. In the main form's Paint event handler, I draw an image on the form - this is what I want to by my "real" UI. I turned off the form border, and set the form's background and transparency key to be the same value. As you know, because of this there is no sign of the form, just the image I painted. So far, so good. Since the form border - and hence the title bar - is...

Here's one that should probably have the sub-heading "I'm sure I asked this once before, but ...". Two users are both looking at the same data, from a database. One user changes the data and commits it. How does the other user get the updated view without polling for changes? Is there some sort of callback mechanism that can be set up on the dataset or connection? TIA

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
