...or are you using PeekMessage() instead of GetMessage() in your message loop...Bad

Nope. PeekMessage doesn't block, does it? I definitely want to block.

Heh. I guess I should have read your actually question....
I'm surprised your while loop only got 70% of the CPU...it
pegs one of my CPUs to nearly 100%
Busy loops are bad in Windows!!!

You're a legend
There's a post on the microsoft.public.vc.language from a
Microsoft employee that states there's evidence that you are
a BOT because of the way you post to so many newsgroups
simultaneously. 
Next time you're here, we'll throw water on you to see if you short-circuit...

Hey Johannes,
Long time no see!
It's interesting....the community is still discussing George...
They're starting to convince me he's not real...
The machines....they're taking over...
Cheers,

I don't believe humans are scientifically advanced enough to create a BOT that is that dense.

Wow I saw his questions on the newsgroups(google) and other forums one thing was iinteresting for me I used of google for search about a problem but first link was George_George (of course I respect to George_George  ).

If I have one class derived from another, an overloaded virtual function in the base class, and an implementation of one of the overloaded functions in the derived class, the compiler will only let me call one of the overloaded functions from a pointer/reference of an instance of the derived class. I am confused as why it won't acknowledge the other function. Can anyone help me understand why this is?
class CBaseClass
{
public:
CBaseClass(void) {}
virtual ~CBaseClass(void) {}
virtual void DoSomething(int a) {}
virtual void DoSomething(int a, int b) {}
};
class CDerivedClass : public CBaseClass
{
public:
CDerivedClass(void) {}
virtual ~CDerivedClass(void) {}
virtual void DoSomething(int a) {}
};
int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[])
{
CDerivedClass testing;
testing.DoSomething(5,5); // Get an error on this line
// error C2660: 'CDerivedClass::DoSomething' : function does not take 2 arguments
}

You either need to implement a two-argument DoSomething() function, or make testing a CBaseClass object.

Thanks for the advice on how to cope with it. You don't by any chance know what is responsible, topic wise, for this behavior?
Is this because of the concept of "Hiding"? I'm not sure what topic I need to google for to better understand it.
Thanks

CDerivedClass does not have a two-argument DoSomething() method, hence the compiler error.

I guess I'm missing the point. I apologize if I'm missing something right under my nose.
If your saying a derived class needs to implement all the virtual methods that are in the base, then I guess I'm not understanding why this works...
class CBaseClass
{
public:
CBaseClass(void) {}
virtual ~CBaseClass(void) {}
virtual void DoSomething(int a) {}
virtual void DoSomething(int a, int b) {}
};
class CDerivedClass : public CBaseClass
{
public:
CDerivedClass(void) {}
virtual ~CDerivedClass(void) {}
};
int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[])
{
CDerivedClass testing;
testing.DoSomething(5,5); // Get an error on this line
}

They don't have to be implemented, but when they are, their types must match.

BTW, the following is allowed
int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[])
{
CBaseClass *pCDerivedClass = new CDerivedClass();
pCDerivedClass->DoSomething(5,5);
}
Please note: error check and cleanup left to the reader...

Noted.
I had become complacent with being able to call any function implemented in the base class regardless of whether it was virtual using a pointer from any level in the derived hierarchy when there were no overloaded functions in the base class. This kinda throws me curve ball but I'm learning.
Thanks for the info.

hmm...what happened to inheritance?
CDerivedClass is a CBaseClass.
Logically, this doesn't seem like it should be an error.
Until you convince me otherwise

Polymorphism[^]
Therefore, what the virtual keyword does is to allow a member of a derived class with the same name as one in the base class to be appropriately called from a pointer, and more precisely when the type of the pointer is a pointer to the base class but is pointing to an object of the derived class

thanks. I guess the part that is confusing me is why a pointer, at any level, will invoke the base implementations when no function is overloaded (and not implemented in a derived class) but a pointer at the base class is required when functions are overloaded and an implementation for at least one overloaded function is not provided in the derived class.

You can add a using statement to promote the visibility of the base class functions.
class CDerivedClass : public CBaseClass
{
public:
CDerivedClass(void) {}
using CBaseClass::DoSomething;
virtual ~CDerivedClass(void) {}
virtual void DoSomething(int a) {}
};
The eliminates the "hiding" problem.
