.NET CF and MessageWindow

[Stephen Inkpen]

I need to write a method that calls a function from a native DLL,
waits for a message from that dll, and then returns a code depending
on the contents of the message.

The psuedo code would look like the following:

public bool Go()
{
NativeFunction();

while (bContinue == false);

if (val == 0)
return true;
else
return false;
}

class WndMessage : WindowMessage
{
WndProc(Message msg)
{
if (msg.Message == MY_MESSAGE_TRUE)
{
bContinue = true;
val = 0;
}
else if (msg.Message == MY_MESSAGE_FALSE)
{
bContinue = true;
val = 1;
}
}
}

Is there anyway to have this kind of program flow?

Thanks,

Stephen Inkpen

Why not just keep it synchronous? That way all you need to do is create the
interop mapping to the native dll method and call it, then when it's
complete it returns to your code... no need to monitor the windows messages.
