Unreferenced date November 2010 MicrosoftWindows programs are Event driven programming event based . They act upon Message passing messages that the operating system posts to the main thread of the application. These messages are received from the message queue by the application by repeatedly calling the GetMessage or PeekMessage function in a section of code called the event loop . The event loop typically appears as follows source lang c int WINAPI WinMain HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow MSG msg while GetMessage &msg, NULL, 0, 0 0 TranslateMessage &msg DispatchMessage &msg return msg.wParam source Though not strictly required, it s conventional for the event loop to call TranslateMessage and DispatchMessage, which transfers the message to the callback procedure associated with the window the message refers to. Modern graphical interface frameworks, such as WinForms , Windows Presentation Foundation , Microsoft Foundation Class Library MFC , Embarcadero Delphi Delphi , Qt toolkit Qt et al. do not typically require applications to directly access the Windows message loop, but instead automatically route events such as key presses and mouse clicks to their appropriate handlers as defined within the framework. Underlying these frameworks, however, the message loop can again be found, and can usually be accessed when more direct control is required.
