Receive Message in no windows

[folen]

Hi to every body,

I am reading this forum since about two weeks, this forum has solved a lot of question that i had, thank to every body.

I have a question about messages (WM_PAINT, etc...) in a no window object.

I am programming in C#.

I have an application which is yet developed, i can´t change it. This application have a communication funtionality, you can send a private message with SendMessage and when the application process this petition it respond to your window.

You can say to the application with number of message and to what window it must respond through a share memory.

Now i am programing a application that must can manage several instances of this application.

I am programing one object which wrappe all the funtionality of the communication with one instance of the application. I have the problem that when i have several instances, each one respond to my application window, but i need that each one respond to a specific object. I don´t want to manage all the message in other piece of code, i want manage the respond in the object which control the comunication. I am saing that i can´t config that each instance of the application have one number of message to answer to my application and control the respond in the main window.

I was thinking and i want know how do two things:

1.- Create threads with a message queue, and says to the application that answer to this queue.

or

2.- Asociate the object that manage the application to a control and try that this application answer to this control.

Thank to all.

Best regards.

PD: sorry for my english.

I just do that the object manager inherit from System.Windows.Form.Control, and now my class can recive windows messages.

The proble is resolve but... not all the question are answer. ¿How can i have a thread with a message queue?

Thanks to all

There is an object called Queue (I think it's System.Collections.Specialized.Queue ?)
On one thread you listen for messages and when a message is received you can push it onto the queue.
Your other thread can be pulling messages off the Queue and responding to them?

The problem isn´t comunicate two threads with a queue, the problem is have a thread to receive windows messages (or events) or user defined message send with the call to windows API SendMessage.

System.Collections.Specialized.Queue doesn´t exists.

Ok, well you said you had already figured out that you could inherit from Control and get at windows messages.
So what is the problem? Make a thread and have it respond to them then.


(Oh and I guess the object is System.Collections.Queue)
