I think you need to be more selective about the messages - this
will toss EVERYTHING. And if something is "happening" that
keeps sending messages this loop never terminates.
One way (also untried) would be to intercept all keyboard events
with a handler that either tosses the message or passes it to
the inherited handler depending on a flag. When you want to
flush - you set the flush flag to "toss" then set a timer
and when the timer pops clear the flag.
Windows will guarantee (I think) that you get events sequenced
in order - so "buffered" keyboard events will all show up before
the first timer tick. In effect you flush "everthing before
the timer tick".
No idea if this works though ...
