OK, I solved the problem. Thanks for pointing to the "WaitForSingleObject"
in the GUI there. I just moved it to the thread that posts the message to
quit. Before it posts the message, it waits on the other thread to finish,
deletes it and the posts the message to quit. In that handler, I do the
CDialog::OnOK().
You seem to have introduced a third thread for the sole purpose of detecting
when the second thread has finished. That thread is not necessary, and
WaitForSingleObject is not necessary, and counting messages sent & received
is not necessary.
The secondary thread posts all the data messages it wants to, and then as it
is about to exit it posts the OkToQuit final message. All those messages
arrive in the GUI thread in the same order they were posted. So there will
be no more messages in the queue when you receive the OkToQuit message.
