The document said some functions will use PostThreadMessage() to send some specific library-defined message within a specific time.
If the program doesn't receive library-defined message within a specific time, regard it as timeout.
And the frequency of this type function is often, not a little.

But now I don't know how to do this timeout functionality properly.

What's to do other than respond to the messages that the library is sending? If the messages are being posted (rather than sent), you do not even have to respond to them in a timely manner.
