I have a question regarding DLL's. What is the best way in a
DLL to give back control to Windows by using PeekMessage/GetMessage?

Is it ok to just do this:

while not ready do
  PeekMessage
  if it's ours
    do something
  else
    TranslateMessage
    DispatchMessage
  end
end

or are there special considerations? I looked for examples, but I couldn't
find one.
Thanks in advance.
