Q. Up until now I was using Mutexs and Semaphores to communicate
with my thread. But what if you want to queue some messages?
A. PostThreadMessage() ... I wish I'd known about it before
so I though I'd tell you about it. The thread needs to have a
PeekMessage() loop.
Here's what the manual says:
The PostThreadMessage function places (posts) a message in the message queue of the
specified thread and then returns without waiting for the thread to process the message.
BOOL PostThreadMessage(
DWORD idThread, // thread identifier
UINT Msg, // message to post (nearly always WM_USER - dave)
WPARAM wParam, // first message parameter
LPARAM lParam // second message parameter
);
