Hello Paul, > I think tou mean "sending a message" here to block the program flow a while.
Not exacly. If you use SendMessage to a message pump for a window created in the same thread contextt then it is just a function call. If other thread context then it will block until the thread has timeslice. But if you use PostMessage to same thread context. and IN your custom message handler you do your next operation, then you have a very small delay without hanging up the message pump for this thread. If you want to block the program flow then you can also use a close loop. But no message will be processed in the same thread context during the loop and I don't think that was what you wanted. --- Rgds, Wilfried [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html http://www.mestdagh.biz Tuesday, January 27, 2009, 12:56, Paul wrote: > Hi Wilfried, >> You could do very small delays by posting a message to a custom message >> handler.
