Usage of PeekMessage().....

[Ramkumar Ganesan]

I'm trying to use PeekMessage() to search thro' the message queue for a dialog and I want to break-off the PeekMessage() loop on encountering a specific message (e.g , WM_CLOSE). How should I do this..??

while( PeekMessage())
{
if the message is WM_CLOSE, fall off this loop
}

//control should come here.....

Any help is greatly appreciated. Any other better ideas are welcome too.....

Thanx
Ram

I use th following function for my dialog:

BOOL WorkingDlg::IsCancelled()
{
MSG msg;

if (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE))
{

if (msg.message == WM_QUIT ||
msg.message == WM_CLOSE ||
msg.message == WM_DESTROY
)
m_bCancel = TRUE;
TranslateMessage(&msg);// Translates virtual key codes
DispatchMessage(&msg); // Dispatches message to window
}

return m_bCancel;
}

This function will be called by other program to see if user clicks the "Cancel" button or close the dialog.
Hope this will help. Good luck.
