Hey, I got a problem with my multi-threaded application. I have one thread that waits for an event to be signaled, when it happens it calls PostMessage and passes a handle of the main window created by the GUI thread with a custom message I handle in my window message loop. The problem is my main thread calls GetOpenFileName at the same time, which causes the message not to be processed. If I remove the call it works just fine. I've read the PostThreadMessage can sometimes lose messages, can this be the same case?

Its possible that GetOpenFileName() is sucking up your message. Call RegisterWindowMessage() to obtain a unique message for inter-application/thread communication. I don't know if that will resolve your problem, but worth a try.
