Remarks
The System.Windows.Forms.Application class has methods to start and stop applications and threads, and to process Windows messages, as follows:
Application.Run starts an application message loop on the current thread and, optionally, makes a form visible.
Application.Exit or Application.ExitThread stops a message loop.
Application.DoEvents processes messages while your program is in a loop.
Application.AddMessageFilter(IMessageFilter) adds a message filter to the application message pump to monitor Windows messages.
System.Windows.Forms.IMessageFilter lets you stop an event from being raised or perform special operations before invoking an event handler.
