线程消息通信

           线程间的消息通信主要采用PostThreadMessage函数来实现，主线程通过该函数来实现消息的发送，副线程则采用消息循环机制来驱动程序，当副线程无GUI时，就不能调用TranslateMessage,DispatchMessage之类的函数，因为该函数无法将消息派发至对应的窗口，这样的话，对于副线程中的MessageBox等有关窗口的消息就不能捕获，转而必须通过线程级别的钩子来实现消息处理。另外，在处理消息时，注意副线程由于无GUI导致消息队列的初始化可能会推迟，而需要调用PeekMessage函数来强制消息队列的创建，同时来通知主线程消息队列已创建完成。具体实现代码如下：

#include "stdafx.h"
#define TM_CONSUMER  WM_APP + 0x100
#define TM_PRODUCER  WM_APP + 0x101

#ifndef PTHREAD_START
typedef unsigned (__stdcall *PTHREAD_START) (void *);
#endif

#ifndef chBEGINTHREADEX
#define chBEGINTHREADEX(psa,cbStackSize,pfnStartAddr,\
	pvParam, fdwCreate,pdwThreadID)                  \
	((HANDLE) _beginthreadex(                        \
	(void *)psa,                                     \
	(unsigned)(cbStackSize),                         \
	(PTHREAD_START) (pfnStartAddr),                  \
	(void *)(pvParam),                               \
	(unsigned)(fdwCreate),                           \
	(unsigned *)(pdwThreadID)))

#endif


DWORD WINAPI ThreadRun(PVOID pvParam)
{
	MSG msg;
	BOOL bRet;
	HANDLE hEvent = (HANDLE)pvParam;

	PeekMessage(&msg,NULL,WM_USER,WM_USER,PM_REMOVE);
	SetEvent(hEvent);

	while((bRet = GetMessage(&msg,NULL,0,0)) != 0) {
		if(bRet == -1) {
			printf("Fail to GetMessage:%d\n",GetLastError());
			break;
		} else {
			switch(msg.message) {
			case TM_CONSUMER:
				printf("get consumer message.\n");
				break;
			case TM_PRODUCER:
				printf("get producer message.\n");
				break;
			default:
				break;
			}
		}
	}
    _endthreadex(0);
    return 0;
}
