Are you using C++.net or VC6 or some other C++? There are multiple data structures available to implement a queue.. Your data is coming as a string or an object or binary?

Have you tried STL ?

Sine you're using c++, why not just use one of the data-types from the STL?
You've got std::queue, which appears likely to be just what you need.

If you can't use an existing one, it's not that difficult to implement a queue yourself. Conceptually, it's just a list - a list in which you must add new items to the end(tail) and with which you must remove elements from the start(head).

Here's an example of std::queue in use: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/queue/pop/[^]

Hi,

Firstly you can use : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_queue

This means that the messages to be sent to the server must be queued (so that they can be sent once the connection is available).
It must be relatively simple to use from C++ on Win32.

Maybe it will help you:
