I know there are problems with messages being lost when using PostMessage in Windows 1.x, but not when using SendMessage. (I am told it is fairly easy to write an app to demostrate the message loss.) My question: is PostMessage fully functional in Windows 2.x now as well as SendMessage? ---thanks in advance ---krogers

The problem is that PostMessage will drop messages if the destination message queue is full; it does let you know when it drops them, though. Since SendMessage doesn't put a message in the queue (it directly invokes the window proc), it doesn't have this problem. --Bill Turner
