For what it matters, whenever I have a thread that updates part of the
UI, I create the thread with a structure that contains a handle to the
dialog box or parent window I wish to update. When the need to update
the UI is encountered by the thread, it either updates the control(s)
directly, or sends a WM_APP to the window with an appropriate
structure containing the value(s) for the windproc() to use to update
the controls.
