This code work on Windows 7 32 bit program

But in Win 10 my program 64 bit close.

I create combobox

Code:

ComboUserTxt dq 0
invoke CreateWindowEx,0,'combobox',0,dword WS_VISIBLE+WS_VSCROLL+WS_CHILD+CBS_DROPDOWN+CBS_HASSTRINGS,\
          dword 4,dword 670,dword 310,dword 230,[hwnd],dword 22,0,NULL 
mov  [ComboUserTxt],rax ;i get ComboHndl and see combobox

And in loop peekmessage i get text from combobox.
This code close my program , but get text fine !

Code:

invoke SendMessage,[ComboUserTxt],dword WM_GETTEXT,dword 10,Status22+2000

If i comment SendMessage my program work fine and work fine combobox.

Using SendMessage will place a new message into the queue. So if your loop keeps sending itself messages then the stack eventually overflows and problems happen.

How i do peekmessage

Code:

.1: invoke PeekMessage,msg, 0, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE
     test   eax,eax
     jz     .2
     invoke  TranslateMessage,  msg
     invoke  DispatchMessage,  msg 
.2:  IfPressedKey VK_F6,.3  ;if not pressed jmp .3
     invoke SendMessage,[ComboUserTxt],dword WM_GETTEXT,dword 10,Status22+2000
     invoke MessageBoxA,0,Status22+2000,0,0 ;i see text from combobox
.3:
     invoke Sleep,10
     jmp .1

I not SendMessage always , only if VK_F6 key pressed !
But one pressed VK_F6 and my prograg after MessageBox close.

Try using PostMessage instead.

Hm ?! Maybe i write wrong MSG struct (32 bits ) ?

Code:

struct MSG 32 bits
  hwnd    dd ?
  message dd ?
  wParam  dd ?
  lParam  dd ?
  time    dd ?
  pt      POINT
ends
struct MSG 64 bits
  hwnd    dq ?
  message dd ?,?
  wParam  dq ?
  lParam  dq ?
  time    dd ?
  pt      POINT
          dd ?
ends

Not help.

I found my problem in IDA Pro 64 bits !
SendMessage change stack values !
And after SendMessage i do my cominvk Direct2D !
And Direct2D drawBitmap crash on stack !
I fix.
Clear stack

Code:

mov     qword [rsp+40h-20h+8],0

And do Direct2D drawBitmap.
Now all work fine !

PS: I am scared, and already thought its problem Windows 10.

That seems unlikely. It violates the call standard. If true, then that is a very serious bug and MS should fix it. But how come no one else has seen the problem? I suspect the root of the problem is actually somewhere else in your code.

instead use WaitMessage function, as for getting notified for key presses just register a hotkey and make a CALLBACK procedure then do whatever you wish there.

this way you can keep your message loop clean and you should not experience delay in messages when your application under heavy load.

FWIW, SendMessage does not post a message to any queues if same thread. It technically does post to a queue if you send it cross-thread or cross-process, but it's not retrieved by Get/PeekMessage, so it might as well not be (that's an implementation detail).

Note that GetMessage will actually process the SendMessage queue (sent from another thread), but it won't return it as a message, so it happens "behind the scenes", unlike messages posted by PostMessage (which you'll have to dispatch after with DispatchMessage or simply inspect/drop them).

What it does is it calls the respective window proc with the message, waiting for it to return and all. When it's cross-thread/process, it still waits for result (via synchronization) but then the target thread needs to be processing messages.

tl;dr: Assume SendMessage doesn't work with queues. Microsoft clearly tried to make it seem this way.

basically same as what Furs said regarding SendMessage.

WIN32.HLP wrote:

If the specified window was created by the calling thread, the window procedure is called immediately as a subroutine. If the specified window was created by a different thread, Windows switches to that thread and calls the appropriate window procedure. Messages sent between threads are processed only when the receiving thread executes message retrieval code. The sending thread is blocked until the receiving thread processes the message.

but to be honest, i dont believe most documentation as a result with microsoft windows the expectation based on documents is not identical to the reality when using those functions.

Yeah it's good to be cautious like that. In this case, though, it's true, since Wine implements it that way as well, and it has a lot of unit tests to test the actual behavior of the Windows API (rather than blindly trust the docs, which are sometimes wrong).
