Programmatic send copy command (CTRL+C)

yytg

I found this link http://vb-helper.com/howto_copy_all_browser_text.html I tried to imitate the function DoEvents as so void DoEvents(int milisec=5) { MSG msg; DWORD dwStart=GetTickCount(); while (true) { if(GetTickCount()-dwStart>milisec)return; if(!PreTranslateMessage(&msg)) { ::TranslateMessage(&msg); ::DispatchMessage(&msg); } } } But when I call the functions - it's not working... How do I do it in C++ Thanks in advance

The good news is you posted this in the correct forum. The bad news is you don't have the first idea what you are doing. Good luck, you're going to need it.

I've had a need to implement DoEvents in C++ myself, and wrote something that works. Here is what I came up with.

namespace
{
    void DoEventsPumpMessage()
    {
        CWinThread *pThread = AfxGetThread();
        if( !pThread->PumpMessage() )
        {
            int nResult = (int)AfxGetCurrentMessage()->wParam;  // value from PostQuitMessage
            ::PostQuitMessage(nResult);        // so the main message loop will get it.
            TRACE("DoEvents Received quit message\n");
            CQuitMessageException::Throw();
        }
    }
}

void DoEvents( bool bAtLeastOne )
{
    if( bAtLeastOne )
    {
        DoEventsPumpMessage();
    }

    MSG message;
    while( ::PeekMessage( &message, NULL, 0, 0, PM_NOREMOVE ) )
    {
        DoEventsPumpMessage();
    }
}

Many message loops I've seen just assume there won't be a quit message, but in my case, I really wanted to avoid runaway background threads. Nathan
