or use PeekMessage until the message changes then proceed.

I wasnt following close Kat, sorry.

if the condition is mouse or key related PeekMessage will hold
you in a loop until a button is depressed or a key is up by it's
self. 
And, you could concievably use SendMessage in conjunction
with sleep in a PeekMessage loop until your specified time is up.
