Detailed Description

EventThread

Description:: An event thread can be used to perform (idle) work while still handling messages directed to this thread and other events. Optionally you can also register additonal EventSources using EventThread::GetEventQueue

Note:

Example:

 class MyEventThread : public EventThread
 {
 public:
        MyEventThread(const String& szName);
        bool         HandleMessage(const Message *pMessage);
        bool Work();
 
 };
 
 MyEventThread::MyEventThread(const String& szName) : EventThread(szName)
 {
 }
 
 bool MyEventThread::Work()
 {
        // Do Idle work here. If more work should be done, return true, else false. If false is returned to EventThread will wait
        // for messages and block this thread. If true is returned the EventThread will only process a waiting message (if there is one)
        // and call this work function again.
 }
 
 bool MyEventThread::HandleMessage(const Message *pMessage)
 {
        // handle message directed to this thread
 
        return EventThread::HandleMessage(pMessage);
 }
