Flush Events

Thanks Paul, I had always thought of wParam as a WORD and lParam as a
DWORD until I looked them up... looks like I didn't look up far
enough :) e.g. the definition of int and long!

And you're calling this purge process from the UI thread of this
application?

Paul T.
 
I call it from 'TestUI.cs' thread. I create and display TestUI from
'Form1.cs' I do ;
testUI = new TestUI();
this.Controls.Add(testUI);
testUI.Show();

How can I check that I am calling purge from within TestUI thread and not
some other thread?

Hi,

Mouse Pressed are not being purged, inaddition, the call to PeekMessage()

returning 120 after it loops through while a few times. See code below ( I

You have to call it from the UI thread. I don't recognize what a TestUI
thread is...as far as I can see from your code, TestUI is a Control.

Ok, I'll do it from Form1.

You may already be doing it from the UI thread. The location, in terms of
classes, has NOTHING to do with the execution context, which is what a
thread is. It seems like you should learn a bit about threading,
particularly in the context of the .NET CF.

Yeah, I admit I am a bit weak on threading on .net cf.
