    I don't have that much going on in the message pump. If there is much action in the window pump, the modal dialog would be busy enough to not redraw itself. Since the operation I'm carrying out is of GUI characteristics, it wouldn't have mattered. I have not yet tried PostMessage(), but I suspect it could fail. If you PostMessage(), it is possibly put onto the message queue in between two grid messages. It could be that the "must execute" message is the last one. I also don't know how the message queue looks like at event time. The "must execute" message may not have been posted already - it could be the case that it is posted as a side effect of some other message. I thought that it would be best to let the grid run its course. -- Kein Mitleid Für Die Mehrheit

    Tom Mabe actually has an entire album with items like those. There is one that is really funny--the says he's blind and didn't know he was calling at 3am. Yeah, he was calling a hotel that was full of telemarketers for a convention that night. Back in the blog beatch! http://CraptasticNation.blogspot.com/[^]

    You actually inadvertently came up with a good name suggestion for the underground soapbox, or even this one, "The Forum Formerly Known As The Soapbox". :-D Simply Elegant Designs JimmyRopes Designs Think inside the box! ProActive Secure Systems I'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopes

    At least you didn't include Grand Torino, the adverts for that were sad. Visit http://www.notreadytogiveup.com/[^] and do something special today.

    Precisely.
