 PC> Someone mentioned awhile back that creating a child of HWND_OBJECT to

 PF> That sounds like something I would say.

It was you that said that. :-)
 
 PC> How is this done, by using WinPostQueueMsg() instead of WinPostMsg()

 PF> Exactly.  And your worker thread,   instead of registering a window
 PF> proceedure,  would look something like this:

 PF> while (WinGetMsg(hab, &qmsg, NULL, 0, 0)){
 PF> switch(qmsg.msg){

This is where I was stuck.  I see now that I just access qmsg.msg
directly. :-)

Thanks!
