Your description is already in plain English. What specifically do you want to know?

When a thread is called it does the execution parallely.Is this pumpMessage is a message queue holding the messages of threads.If i'm having three threads will pumpMessage put it in a queue based on its priority and then display the messages.

Each thread has it's own message queue. So if you want to process Windows messages in a thread, it has to read/dispatch messages from that queue; the process is called pumping messages.

Just because you create a thread, doesn't automatically mean that it'll be handling messages. Are all three of your threads doing GUI stuff that requires a message pump?
