Which does a SendMessage which as you've found does not work quite well. I assume you are using a worker thread which should communicate with a UI thread via PostMessage, never SendMessage. Another method would be to have a time in the dialog that polls a memory location (properly guarded for read/write access.)

Using PostMessage would be nontrivial because the strings that I'd have to pass are currently locals. The second option sounds like it should work, though. Thanks! Steve
