    PostThreadMessage

    Hi!

    On my application, a function is called by the PostThreadMessage. I want to step in (F11) but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do that?

    Well yes and no....

    Short answer.. No no way to step into a postmessage.. A postmessage as aposed to a sendmessage doesnt' wait around for the return value of the message.. it just sticks the message in a queue and let's you continue on your way..

    The long answer is, While you can't step into your code from a post message... you can do an extensive text search.. Find out where that Message being posted it being caught and processed.. set a break point there, thus effectively stepping into it that way..

    Hope this was helpful.. rate me..

    Re: PostThreadMessage

    Hi!

    You can only try to locate the Message Pump of the receiving thread, and put a breakpint there.
