Hi, i've got a problem about PeekMessage :

(I used PeekMessage in a normal while-look a lot, so I
 thought I know all about it ???)

What I want to do is something like this :

for(......)
{
/* see, if other apps wish to do something and "eat" all mesg. for this
   appl. */
 PeekMessage(&msg,hWnd,0,0,PM_REMOVE);

.... do some calculating stuff (no SDK calls)....
}


The result is, that only messages, which are directly sent to other
window procedures come thru to other apps(I can see this with clock.exe
or cpuuse.exe from cica), such as WM_PAINT or WM_TIMER.
But I can't for instance click upon and activate another application.

I experienced with various parameter in PeekMessage, but nothing
changes !?!?!

What is wrong ??

Please help !

Thanx
