How to run message pump in .NET?

[Jianxin]

Hi, all,

Can I run message pump in C# to yield cotrol to other
window messages while my main thread is waiting for
lengthy procesing to finish?

In C++, PeekMessage(), TranslateMessage(), and
DispatchMessage() will do the job. For some reason, this
seems not working in managed C++.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Simple, spawn a new thread to run your "lengthy processing", a UI thread shouldn't do anything else than handle the UI.
