Calling GetEvent() from another thread
« on: May 13, 2010, 10:16:39 pm »
I was just wondering if it is possible to call the GetEvent() method for a window in a different thread than the one where the object was created, and if so, how?

Thanks.

On Windows this is not possible. I don't know about other OSes.

On Mac OS X this is not possible too, moreover the event handling must not be done only in the same thread, but also in the *main* thread.
