Re: [dcplusplus-devel] [dwt] being able to capture all messages in dialog message loops

[Jacek S. <arn...@gm...>]

Hm,

This should probably be per dialog (per message loop...) then...it certainly shouldn't be the same 
filter as for windows at least...maybe it would make sense to add some sort of message loop class 
which takes care of these details and works for both windows and dialogs?
