I think perhaps you misunderstand the architecture of Windows. The Windows system is largely based on messages being passed from one process to another. Whether the result comes from a function or not is largely irrelevant, it still depends on the value of the message. The fact that you think this is stupid is neither here nor there; that is the way the system has been defined by Microsoft, and that is how it works.

Now why were you downvoted for that, I wonder - have a compensatory 5.

Oh, thank you.
My post was actually quite useless (I just wanted to remark the message mechanism is IMHO simple, powerful, efficient).

No, I really like such mechanism (on the other hand, there are certain framworks built on the top of it...).

I guess with the Window's version, I always disliked the lack of type safety and the way it was laid out. I will concede that it is quite a legacy interface in this day and age. Not that anything Microsoft has come up with since then is a lot better.

It's C. The point is efficiency, I suppose.

Yes, but even in C, I like my code pretty. I'd have declared a structure for each message type and just passed a pointer as part of the message. Or even the first field of the structure could have been the message type. Still not C++ type safe but I think more elegant. It would have made interpreting the message a bit easier than remembering which bit went it which parameter and still have pointers to structures occasionally flying by. But then I'm not a computer scientist.

Wow, tons of structs.
Tim Craig wrote: just passed a pointer as part of the message.
Pointers don't always make sense in Windows messages (pointers are process-scope valid).
Moreover, I think it is dangerous to use pointers in every Windows message, if you don't need a pointer, don't use it (don't get me wrong, pointers are useful, but, each time I see a pointer I ask to myself: is it valid? Should I free the memory?).

I don't worry about messages sent by Windows: any application may post and send messages like the operating system does.

I realize that this may not be the ideal message board for this question, but it seemed like the best place, so here it is.
What would be the best way to monitor/log memory & cpu usage for a specific process in the general windows environment? -Thanks

using WMI classes are good for this purpose eg:- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa390423(VS.85).aspx
But if you like to use API then you have a lot of options:--
One such is PSAPI
Just refer :- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681920(VS.85).aspx.
WMI is having high performance, and it has a good extensible event mechanism.
But PSAPI is not a bad option , but it wont support Windows 9X

Is this a coding question, or just a general Windows question? If the latter, use the Performance Monitor (perfmon.msc).

I have hooked taskbar. Below code is the new window procedure for task bar.
But when I tried to send message with valid m_hDlgWnd of my application window. But it is not working.
Is it not possible to send message from this task bar window procedure?
LRESULT CALLBACK NewProc(
HWND hwnd,
UINT uMsg,
WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam
)
{
switch (uMsg)
{
case WM_PAINT:
::SendMessage( m_hDlgWnd, WM_TASKBAR_UPDATED_EVENT,0,0 );
::SetEvent( m_hTaskBarUpdatedEvent );
::MessageBeep( MB_OK );
break;
}
return CallWindowProc( OldProc,hwnd,uMsg,wParam,lParam );
}

After finding the window again, it is worked.
case WM_PAINT:
{
m_hDlgWnd = ::FindWindow( NULL, "HackTaskBar" );
::SendMessage( m_hDlgWnd, WM_TASKBAR_UPDATED_EVENT,0,0 );
::MessageBeep( MB_OK );
break;
}

Just be carefull with SendMessage, you can run into deadlocks (i'm not saying you will), if the timing isn't that important for what you need, i recommend using PostMessage instead...
[edit] I mean if you use SendMessage between different threads/processes...
