Ahhh.. nevermind.. I wasn’t handling correctly the callback in the thread to get the input message data. It’s fixed now.. cool 8)

Right, not all messages need to be passed, but passing every message shouldn’t lead to such problems anyway.
Yesterday night (this morning 8), I completed the multi-thread thing.. but it didn’t seem to solve the problem 8(
I had to rewrite the MT code for the socket I/O anyway, so it wasn’t a waste of time… but would have been nice if that solved the the problem !

No, DefWindowProc doesnt always have to be called, sometimes you override processing for certain messages. You said that it
gets stuck in a case of a specific message, so I was wondering if you needed some custom processing for that message.

I wouldn’t suggest trying that. DefWindowProc() needs to be calle dif one wants to be able to move the window etc.
Also I don’t have a direct connection between SendInput() and DefWindowProc(). I mean, I send out in the wild events with SendInput(), but the resulting messages passing through DefWindowProc() are only byproducts which I have no direct connection to.
Anyhow we are close to be able to issue SendInput() on a separate thread as soon as the remote data comes. That should allow me to truly disconnect SendInput() from the main loop. In fact, SendInput() is a system-wide thing, and there is no need for it to be synchronized to the issuing application loop.

Hhhmmmmmmmm and if you dont call DefWindowProc for that message and just return then what happens?

Do you mean that it keeps getting the same message very frequently and doesnt have time to process anything else or it gets
stuck trying to process that WM_NCCLIENT message?

I dunno about the background tune thing. Seems a bit silly. However there are times when one wants to share a part of a track.. for example mentioning a new CD or something. It could become succesful, but definitely not when used for elevator music !

The skype plugin stuff is very interesting as Skype has some excellent networking you can use for your stuff! I’m currently looking forward to this http://www.automatetechnology.com/html/com/tunesup/

The remote machine is somehow stuck in the WindowProc. For example if I press the minimize button, the WindowProc seems stuck in the WM_NCCLIENTsomething. I should try debug more. But I figured that it’s a generic problem because it happens either if i try to move the window or press one of the buttons. So, it’s basically about intereacting with it.
