Re: PostMessage and unprocessed messages

I'm developing and application that read a stream from serial port,
trasform byte in a structure and send it to the top-most dialog that
uses those data. When a frame is received I create (new) my structure
and send with a postmessage to the top-most dialog (it delete the
message too). What happen if I close the dialog before all messages
are elaborated ?

Stefano,

In that case you'd have memory leaks - but I suspect you already knew
that.

Is there a way to wait until all messages are processed ?

You could use a PeekMessage loop to process all currently queued
instances of your message, but I don't think it'd be foolproof - to do
it properly you'd need to signal the sender to stop posting any more
messages, and then empty the message queue.
