Peekmessage In dialog ???

[gromit]

Hi Folks

Could anyone Point me in the right direction

I want to use Peekmessage

However to use Peekmessage it needs a message loop

/* The user interface is a modal dialog box */
    return DialogBox(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(DLG_MAIN), NULL, (DLGPROC)MainDlgProc);

As the above code shows In my dialog based app, i have no visible msg loop.

is it possible to do it any other way than to write a non dialog based app

Here is something that I use to keep a dialog refreshed.  Borrowed it from BCX.

Code Select Expand

VOID DoEvents(VOID)
{
MSG Msg;
while (PeekMessage(&Msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE))
{
TranslateMessage(&Msg);
DispatchMessage(&Msg);
}
}

Use it like so:

Code Select Expand

if (GetSaveFileName(&ofn))
{
DoEvents(); // refresh screen

char buf[RichEdit_GetTextLength(txtScript)];

// Do stuff
