[Solved] Windows message loop and server loop

Question

This is a very confusing question as it asks one question in the title, but the content addresses a different problem (threads crashing).

To address the primary question: Microsoft did add a way to handle socket communications in a GUI thread friendly way: WSAAsyncSelect. This will send socket events as messages to your applications message queue – typically an invisible window is created to handle the messages.
