Thanks for the answer, I think I should say that I wasnt using GetMessage
method in the execute method..
Sorry for this..
Now, the question is, what if I use GetMessage method outside of Execute
method..?
What does GetMessage do outside Execute method? It gets all the messages
including main VCL thread?
Here is a simple example how I use the GetMessage outside Execute method...

//assume that MessageA and MessageB is defined and
//when Button1 Clicked it sends MessageA and
//Button2 Clicked it sends MessageB
// there are also handlers for the messages and these are
//OnMessageA and OnMessageB

//in execute method...this is working already...
GetMessage(...)
Dispatch(..)

// in OnMessageA, I want user to send MessageB by clicking Button2

OnMessageA
{
    //do something...
    //wait until MessageB comes..
    while (1)
    {
    GetMessage(&msg....)
    if (msg.message==MessageB)
                     break;
   else
     //do not nothing, do not call other handlers,
                   continue
    }
}

What happens here is that when I use NULL for the HWND parameter of
GetMessage, it gets all messages (I think) even including mousemove,
therefore
infinite loop occurs.(I know this by debugging)
When I use (HWN)-1 for HWND parameter, it gets nothing and somehow
program goes infinite loop for which reason I dont know.. it enters
GetMessage method
and I can not reach form, cannot click a button, cannot close window..
I have also tried the filtering by assigning lower filter to WM_APP but it
doesnt work also..
I can use flags (I know), but then code will be too much and I have to spend
too much time because
there are lots of handlers and there are several cases in which I have to
wait user to send messages like this...
Any idea for this?


Thanks for your time...
