I setup my window procedure, and the window loop is:
can someone tell me what's keeping Display() call from running constantly.. Like it stops somewhere in the loop and comes back in a very non-synced timing..
GetMessage blocks until there is a message available. You probably want to use PeekMessage, but not exactly like that... more like this:
Kind of, anyway...
while(!g_bExit){ while (PeekMessage(...)) { TranslateMessage(...); DispatchMessage(...); } Display(...);}Kind of, anyway...

Okay. I did that.
Now it certainly runs through, as I can see the increase in processor usage.
But now there comes another problem..
When it executes, everything just freezes. And there's hourglass icon on cursor.
edit: which doesn't make sense, cause there's a 7% (max) CPU usage..

Did you put some sleep() in your Display() function to insure the message loop will not run like crazy?
Because if GetMessage() blocks until there is a pending message, PeekMessage() returns immediatly even if there is no message. So, if you do not add any sleeping or yielding to the loop, it will monopolise all the cpu.
If you want to render at a particular fps, you may try:
- to add a sleep in your loop,
- to use a timer and call Display() only when you received the timer message,
- or make something more clever in your Display() function that use current and previous time to calculate an adaptive sleep to a really stable fps.

Quote:Original post by experimentYou need to pass PM_REMOVE as the last parameter to PeekMessage() or else the messages aren't removed, so you'll end up in an infinite loop.

Possibly a problem with your WindowProc... did you call DefWindowProc...??

Yup.. That did it.. Thanks!
Although the Display is still lagging, but at least now it's timed and isn't stopping. ->edit: It's cause of the time calc. inaccuracy.
PS (for future resumes): I also needed to pass NULL instead of handle to the main window, or else the dialogs (other windows) don't work: PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)

Yes, because that lets you peek at messages for your entire application, rather than just for the specific window whose handle you passed in.
