i am trying to post a message to my windowless app

i tried

Code:

PostMessage(  theApp.GetMainWnd()->m_hWnd , WM_MAKE_TIME_STOP_DLG, (WPARAM)broken_msg_obj.parm2, 0);

PostMessage(  theApp.m_hThread , WM_MAKE_TIME_STOP_DLG, (WPARAM)broken_msg_obj.parm2, 0);

PostMessage( hwnd , WM_MAKE_TIME_STOP_DLG, (WPARAM)broken_msg_obj.parm2, 0);

PostMessage(  m_pMainWnd->GetSafeHwnd() , WM_MAKE_TIME_STOP_DLG, (WPARAM)broken_msg_obj.parm2, 0);

PostMessage(  GetParent(0) , WM_MAKE_TIME_STOP_DLG, (WPARAM)broken_msg_obj.parm2, 0);
	
PostMessage(this->m_pMainWnd->m_hWnd, WM_MAKE_TIME_STOP_DLG, (WPARAM)broken_msg_obj.parm2, 0);

but they all either give compile error or dont work


my initinstance of the app

Code:

BOOL CAsevApp::InitInstance()
{
	// Standard initialization
	// If you are not using these features and wish to reduce the size
	//  of your final executable, you should remove from the following
	//  the specific initialization routines you do not need.
	CDialog dlg;
	m_pMainWnd = &dlg;
               return TRUE;
}

please asssist :wave:

if you wrote it you should know.. you came up with it's name

because i am a newbie at programming, i have problems identifying what i created
so i need some help

You also seem to have a problem identifying which board to post your windows specific questions on, too.

>>but they all either give compile error or dont work<<

Help us to help you: provide explicit details about these errors or in what way 'it doesn't work'.

If you intend to use mfc then use it - in an mfc application you typically only need to use winapi functions where mfc doesn't provide an alternative method so use CWnd::PostMessage instead of ::PostMessage. Either way, you still need to have a valid window to work with which you won't until you create either a modeless dialog (CDialog::Create ) or a modal dialog ( CDialog::DoModal ). If your dialog is modal then you'll only be able to access its window handle from within its class; when the function returns the dialog is gone and m_pMainWnd becomes effectively useless.

>>a newbie at programming<<

There should be lots of mfc examples with your compiler - the web is full of mfc code or, if you prefer a textbook, Jeff Prosise's Programming Windows with MFC is a good introduction.
