Hot keys are not functioning properly

[Amit Sebiz]

Hi,

I am facing a starnge situation. Mine is a SDI application. A modal dialog box is shown when user selects a command option. In this dialog a long procedure is placed which is run in a workwr thread. Problem is that whenever, i start my worker thread, hotkeys and tab button stops functioning however mouse evnts are handled properly.

Can anyone figure out the reason.
thnx in advance.

Hi,
I checked this in a view(thread is fired by a handler in view) just to get same problem. well, good thing here was that shortkeys for my menus worked but for controls palced on view failed. is this something to do with multithreading.

hi Alin,

well, i checked out the thread, it seems a good alternative to worker threads for some cases but in my case the certain processes can go as long as for an hour and i think i should not peek with message threads for that long.

thnx for your reply,
Amit
