postmessage

[utcode]

Hi, In MFC, when using sending or posting message to UI in a worker threads, is better to call global ::postmessage or postmessage?. CWnd vs. MFC. :confused:

It does not matter, since CWnd::PostMessage is just a wrapper for the Win32 function.

[utcode]

within worker thread, could a pointer to CDialog access its member variables or even functions, nothing to do with its UI elements, without using postmessage or sendmessage?. I expect the answer is YES. :doh:

No, the answer is "maybe", as it depends on the way the code is written. Without considerably more detail about your code any answer is guesswork.
