Is it possible to use SendMessage() in one of my threads to notify the main getmessage loop of something? For example, one of my threads changes the value of a variable, and I want to notify the main that the variable has changed, and take certain actions that can't be carried out in the thread that sent the notification.

Yes you can, that is a common practice

I tried to send a simple WM_COMMAND message to the hwnd that is the current console, and I couldn't obtain the WM_COMMAND message with the getMessage() loop. Did I send to the wrong hwnd, or did I use the wrong message?

When you want to send your own messages to your own program, use your own message instead of WM_COMMAND:

(It has to be above WM_USER so it doesn't interfere with other messages)

No sending WM_COMMAND to the same hWnd should work. You must be doing something wrong..

Try setting the hWnd parameter of GetMessage to thisWnd

Nope, the message is still not getting received by the loop. Tried using PeekMessage as well and it wouldn't receive it either.
