I'm trying to achieve some Inter-Thread Communication between threads in a

just a numeric indicator and I though i could achieve this with
PostThreadMessage() and a WM_COPYDATA message.

Is this posisble or can WM_COPYDATA only be used with SendMessage()? If so,
does anyone have any other ideas how i can easily achieve this?

If you are communicating between threads within a single process, why do
you need any of this? Threads share the same address space. You can just
implement your own queue for each thread, and pass pointers to objects, or
whatever you need.
