Hi, In a previous email asking about PostMessage, Michael suggested I used QueueAsyncCall instead, because although it's OK to use PostMessage, but it is considered a Windows Legacy, or only for Delphi compatibility.
However, in actual use, I feel that PostMessage does a better job for code separation. Because when use PostMessage, GUI (or main thread) related code are written in the main form, and the thread will not need to use the Forms unit. My question is, why cannot Lazarus just use PostMessage, but invent the QueueAsyncCall() method? What is the rationale, or, why PostMessage is considered windows-ish (read: not fit into LCL very well?), apart from the fact that it is a Windows API? Thanks, Xiangrong
