Peek and Pump

[daveD]

Hi,

I have come across a method in the code I am working on called "PeekAndPump". I only have access to the header file so I cannot see the implementation of this method.

Is "Peek and Pump" a c++ concept or pattern or something? I can't find much on the net about it.


Thanks very much
Dave

It's a Windows thing.

Thanks :)

Any idea what the "pump" part means?

It means dispatch the message (with DispatchMessage), i.e. send it to the relevant window.

I see..

Great thanks for the help
