    Re: WinAPI timer vs thread?

    But if I created all of the controls in the UI thread, won't all of the messages sent to these controls be added to this UI thread message queue? Does each control has it's own message queue?!

    What are CRT file descriptors in Windows?

    I've always thought that in Windows there are only Windows file handles (which are somewhat the counterpart of file descriptors in Linux), and that a FILE wraps a Windows file handle, but now I am...

    I like to know exactly what functions I am calling so I like to write something like CreateWindowExW() and CreateFileW() and not having to use macros.

  13. Java "volatile" alternative in C++ under Windows?

    I know from Java that having two threads sharing a global variable can cause two problems:
