Close a view during OnDraw

[CodeBrain]

I have a question regarding the closing of a CView during a paint message. I want to send a close message to a view during its OnDraw(CDC*) method. Is it guaranteed that the OnDraw method will finish before the view processes the close message if I send it using PostMessage in my OnDraw code? Thanks in advance.

Yes. PostMessage appends the message to the queue of posted messages. SendMessage waits for a response (turns into a recursive call on the same thread).

OK, thank you. That was what I have expected.
