Can Signnal'ed Event Generate a User Message

[ForNow]

Hi, I have a dos console process communicating with a MFC Win32 program/process I created a Cevent object passed the synchronization object to Dos console process created Process Table entry (DuplicateHandle) on the MFC WIN32 end I have a Cdiloag residing in a Cwinthread UI flavor My question is can the WIndow sdk api call SetEvent (to signal the shared Kernel object event) genarate a message to the MFC Cdialog thread thankx

If i understand your question, you should be able to intercept the event and generate the message yourself.

yes it should work. You use the HANDLE value of it not the object!!! You can also use ::PostMessage(HWND,MSG,0,0) API. It works fine because it fits best in the Windows-GUI.

As i understood, you have two applications 1. Console Application 2. MFC GUI Application( GUI thread derived ) Now you create a CEvent object in console application and duplicate the handle of the event object in MFC GUI. So that means, you are looking to get the event change in both process, isn't it? Now you have a doubt that if you call a SetEvent from Console application then whether it will generate a message to MFC thread. As far as i understood, if u have the same concern then It is yes, it will signal the wait inside the GUI application. But remember one thing this event is send to all the applications which have the same named event.

It was unamed I used DuplicateHandle to create an Entry in console process table I think the best I can do is signal the event and then send a message or post to the Cwintnhread UI/CDialog object thankx
