Using CreateWindow() to make additional Window on a thread - C
- by Jamie Keeling
Hello,
I have a windows form that has a simple menu and performs a simple operation, I want to be able to create another windows form with all the functionality of a menu bar, message pump etc.. as a separate thread so I can then share the results of the operation to the second window.
I.E.
1) Form A opens Form B opens as a separate thread
2)Form A performs operation
3)Form A passes results via memory to Form B
4)Form B display results
I'm confused as to how to go about it, the main app runs fine but i'm not sure how to add a second window if the first one already exists. I think that using CreateWindow will allow me to make another window but again i'm not sure how to access the message pump so I can respond to certain events like WM_CREATE on the second window.
I hope it makes sense.
Thanks!
