Re: SendMessage (in secondary thread) freezes application GUI thre

Did you try the suggestion I made earlier?

Does the UI thread ever do a Wait (or other blocking call)? Any
chance it doesn't come out of that wait (i.e. what circumstances
would cause it to wait forever)?

You could try setting a flag just before waiting and then clearing
after the
wait. Then, in the non-UI thread, check the flag. If the flag is
set,
throw up a MessageBox. Then attach the debugger to the program and
get some stack traces.

Thanks for that Paul.

Now I just got to figure out which message getting processed is the one
causing the deadlock.... (any clues as to how to do this?)

Thanks :)

What's the question? If the system is about to go into suspend mode, it
will probably suspend before the about-to-suspend message gets to the UI
thread. When the device resumes, that message will still be there...

Hi guys, me again... =)

I have a question... what happens if there are 3 threads, and 2 threads
simultaneously do a "SendMessage" to the third one?

Plus, what if Thread A is actually sending a message to the UI thread,
saying that it has received a Power Broadcast message, and that the
system
was about to go into suspend mode... and the UI thread was in the
middle
of
processing Thread B's message?

Thanks...
