Processing messages

[ffazly]

Hi. I have a question with regards to processing windows messages. I have a block of pseudo code below: while (TRUE) { //play a tone // get user response (keyboard input) responded = get_response() ; // if no response, increase by 5 dB, go to "play tone" if (responded == FALSE) // else process the response else { //process response threshold_found = process_success(); //if threshold not found, decrease by 10 dB, go to "play tone" if (threshold_found == FALSE) // else record threshold and go to next frequency, // restore familiarization_level, go to "play tone" else { record_threshold() ; // restart the test at the next frequency restart = restartTest() ; // if finished with test get out of while loop if(restart == FALSE) break ; } } } I want to be able to receive keyboard messages while this while loop is executing and also to be able to detect any other messages like button clicks, etc... I've tried to use PeekMessage : while(iCheck == BST_CHECKED) { gen_sound(0, 0.02, 1, current_frequency, duration) ; // play tone while(PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)) { TranslateMessage (&msg) ; DispatchMessage (&msg) ; if(msg.message == WM_COMMAND) { if(msg.wParam == IDC_START) //check if start button has been pressed iCheck = (int) SendMessage(hCtrl, BM_GETCHECK, 0, 0) ; break ; } } } but I can't seem to get it to retrieve any messages. I've implemented this code in a callback function that is subclassed from the main window so that it can intercept the window messages. Any insight on what I maybe doing wrong or any kind of advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Fazly

I don't understand what your pseudocode is doing, but generally, you shoud use worker thread to do some work in loop while UI (original) thread is processing messages and controling the worker thread
