[Gnumed-devel] re: thread safe user events

[syan tan]

This was a 1999 suggestion, so the queue idea is old.

I gather postevent() or something like that is thread-safe in
wxWindows, so it might be a way of actively putting dispatcher events
on the gui thread. (then the dispatcher.send() can be called by any thread).
but it then makes the dispatcher dependent on wxWindows.postEvent, unless
a wrapper interface is used.
On the other hand, does wxWindows make all methods threadsafe .e.g. by
actually posting events for most methods ?
