Hi all,
I have a thread which has 2 other threads..
I send message from the main thread to member threads by
PostThreadMessage(ThreadID,msg,...)
like
class ThreadA: : public TThread
{
public:
        TThreadB SecondThread;
        TThreadC ThirdThread;
}


What is the best way to handle this messages in other threads. (in order to
have CPU usage below %100)
I have seen many codes like,

while (!Terminated)
   if (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0,0,PM_REMOVE))
                        Dispatch(&msg);
else
    WaitMessage();

OR

 while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0,0,PM_REMOVE))
    Dispatch(&msg)

OR any other things...

Whatever I do (I think) , CPU usage seems to be %100..

I have also tried Sleep and it doesnt work..
So what is the best way?
Note: I have not any windows in my threads...:)
