Re: Intermittent work in UI thread

Hi Joseph,

Yes, I agree that using the build-in message queue of the GUI thread will
make us a bit easy for coding. But, as the OP stated, he wanted to keep the
UI responsive, so I assume that he will show visible windows. Then, this
depends on whether his background work is length or not. If the background
work will cost a lot of time, it definite will block the GUI message
dispatching which causes non-responsible for this UI thread. Sure, we may
use PeekMessage to lighten this problem.

Anyway, this depends on the OP's specific scenario. Thanks.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
