I have a feeling this is an abhorred question, but, I want to spawn a separate thread to process a given HWND's messages. However, much to my dismay I discover that apparently one message can't be received by anything other than the process the HWND is created in (or something to that effect). So essentially I would like to do this: wnd = CreateWindow (...) // ThreadProc is basically a function which implements the // general win32 msg loop. thread = CreateThread (NULL, 0, ThreadProc, wnd, 0, &threadID); After searching this board I found a thread called: "Reading win32 message loop from another thread" originall started by Starfall back in Feb/2000. SetWindowsHookEx was mentioned, so I tried it out, hoping to hook onto sent msgs and use PostThreadMessage() to transfer these msgs into the msg loop thread's msg queue. A few system crashes later I notice that the HookProc must be in a .dll. Is there a (possibly easier) way to do this without having to create a separate .dll for my hook proc? EDIT: Just a quick note, that I've tried AttachThreadInput() but it never returns successfully. -------------------------- I guess this is where most people put a famous quote...

Just a thought, but why not spawn a thread to do the rest of the processing instead.

Funny you should ask...

I''ve since thought about that, but I''ve been reluctant to do it because it just ''seems'' better the way I want to do it.

Maybe thats just because I really want to beat windows into submission....

I''ll probably end up doing just that. (Solving your way that is)
