    in the previous version they were three separate applications each with its window , but since they have no user interface the window is unnecessary  and each of it is idle in the operation situation , until oit receives proper messages  then processe them , reads or writes from DB and perform complex computation  as needed , then tables the results and echoes them as  and where neede

    That was what I thought when I started reading your questions. You have a wrong idea around threads. 

    Threads are not three processes. It are tasks which are done in one process which can be done asynchronous. 

    What you need are in fact Windows Services.

    It is possible to have multiple threads, each which construct a hidden window and use a message pump, but generally speaking, this is a very strong indication of a bad design.

    I strongly urge you to reconsider. Why must each thread have a message pump? Why can't the message pump be handled by the main thread and each thread given non-GUI related work?

    they are server thread , so they don't have direct users , and they are basically three different tyoe of recalculation which take place depending on data and message and i would like to allocate each of them to a core or socket  and have it process the relevant messages

    Hi opaklaus,

    Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum. It seems that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss VS IDE. I am moving your question to the moderator forum ("Where is the forum for..?"). The owner of the forum will direct you to a right forum.

    Best Regards,

    Jack
