Changing the limit is one alternative. Another is to check the return value from PostMessage. If the queue is full and the message can not be posted, I believe PostMessage returns a boolean false to indicate failure. Just wanted to suggest another way of looking at the problem.

That won't work as expected with Unicode strings.

Because of the +1 part, which makes a wrong assumption of the size of an Unicode character! It could have been multiplied by sizeof(TCHAR), that would make it work, but is not very clean (IMHO).

LPTSTR lpszData = new TCHAR[csTemp.GetLength()+1];
