int PostDeferredCallToThread (DeferredCallbackPtr deferredFunction, void *callbackData, unsigned long targetThreadId);
Matches the capabilities of PostDeferredCall, except that you can specify the thread in which the callback is to be called. PostDeferredCall, on the other hand, always posts the call to the main thread.
The thread that you specify must call GetUserEvent, RunUserInterface, or ProcessSystemEvents to receive notification to call the deferred callback.
To obtain the ID of a thread, call the Utility Library function CmtGetCurrentThreadID.
