Adventures in programming: Treeviews, directory scanning, recursion

One more point, mainly for future reference, if you send the main window a message from the thread, be aware than SendMessage waits for processing, blocking your thread, but PostMessage returns immediately.

Thanks. Still unsure of all the details and differences between all those different message functions (SendMessage(), PostMessage(), PeekMessage(), etc.) I'm guessing that this has probably been covered by our friend Raymond Chen at some point.

Will make that change.

Searching for GDI+ background thread found a few interesting things too.
