PeekMessage function does not wait for a message to be
placed in the queue before returning.

Answer / sirama
GetMessage() Takes the message from "Message Queue" and
dispatches it to the Window Procedure. And the pointer
moves to the next message in the queue.
PeekMessage() does the same. But, this time, the pointer is
not moved to the next message in the Queue.
PostMessage() : See Krishna's Answer
