Call RegisterWindowMessage() to define a new window message (that is guaranteed to be unique throughout the system). In the secondary thread, post that message. In the primary thread, respond to that message like:
ON_REGISTERED_MESSAGE(USER_WINDOWS_MESSAGE, OnMyMessage);
...
LRESULT CMyDialog::OnMyMessage(WPARAM, LPARAM lParam)
{
return 0;
}

"Best" meaning "New and improved"? Or the "Best" because it has a 30 day money back guarantee?

No body guarentees anythings nowadays. Sheer advise, my friend. Sheer advise.

"Lean and mean" code as in development/maintenance overhead or runtime performance? Never mind I have lost interest now since it has taken you at a minimum three posts to explain your request.

Perhaps you missed point 2.

Really you consider your original post to be "specific"? In that case you might want to consider this[^].

 Could you be a tad less discrete, or perhaps provide an example of what you are after?

modal like a modal dialog? If so, that means the user
must dismiss the window before (s)he can do anything else.
To do that,
1) disable other windows
2) create the window
3) run a message loop until the modal window is closed/dismissed
4) enable other windows
5) destroy the modal window

I would swap (4) with (5), but maybe I'm wrong.

Either way...whichever way is most pleasing to the user.
All the repaints resulting in the destruction and re-enabling
will determine that I suppose

Thank you so much Mark.
You're answer is prudent and accurate.
I must say that I have begun to doubt my coherency during this thread.
There's an obvious correlation between one's willingness to help and his understanding of the question.

Hi guys
¿Do you know a way to show a long text (CString) in a CStatic justified or left aligned?
Thanks in forwarding.

Text is left justified by default. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding.

Sorry, I was talking about a CMyStatic where your own paints the text,bitmaps,etc...

the famous CMyStatic, how did I forget about?

Are you using TextOut()?

And what is the value of the second argument?
"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." - Ellen Goodman

The problem is that I have a CString too long for the width of the control (then I have to show as multiline). Then, I don't know how to manage this.

If this is a CStatic control, why aren't you using SetWindowText(), rather than rendering the text yourself with TextOut()?

Cause in addition to the text I have graphics in the same CStatic derived class.
SetWindowText() don't have any control about in which position inside the control you write your text.
Imagine a INFO panel where there is a border, some graphics and a multiline text.
Anyway don't worry, I've found a simple way.
