At the moment PostQuitMessage is called, there are 3 threads. 1. Main Thread Calling WriteFile in LogStringWorkRaw: _NtWriteFile _WriteFile LogStringWorkRaw LogStringWork LogIdWork LogIdModuleArgs LogId CoreAply ProcessMessage RunApplicaton RunNormal EngineRun wWinMain 2. ThreadProc: _NtUserGetMessage _GetMessageW ThreadProc 3. WndProc: CWixStandardBootstrapperApplication::WndProc After running PostQuitMessage, all 3 threads are calling GetMessage, with the third thread in CWixStandardBootstrapper::UiThreadProc. -- Bruce Cran ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Own the Future-Intel® Level Up Game Demo Contest 2013 Rise to greatness in Intel's independent game demo contest.
