Busy Application leads to false “Not responding” state on Windows 7 - WM_UPDATE
问题 During long term operations our C++ Win32 application shows a modal status dialog with a process bar, which is updated irregular every few seconds or so. Starting with Windows 7 we realized that Windows quite soon shows a message " seems to hang..." and/or appends "Not responding" to our window title bar. We figured out that the process dialog must handle messages to avoid this. More specifically it seems that Windows 7 is constantly sending WM_UPDATE messages to check if our program is alive
