custom events

hi there,

i'm in need of custom events because i have to handle complex data between
threads. I implemented everything like in the events tutorial and the docs
entry. it compiles fine but the event never gets to its destination.

here the event class:
============================================================================
class wxNetworkEvent : public wxNotifyEvent
{
private:
sTCP_Header m_sHeader;

public:
wxNetworkEvent( wxEventType commandType = wxEVT_NULL, int id
= 0 ) { ::wxNotifyEvent( commandType, id ); };

sTCP_Header getHeader() { return
m_sHeader; };
void setHeader( sTCP_Header
sHeader ) { m_sHeader = sHeader; };
};
============================================================================

The event declaration and event table:
============================================================================
EGIN_DECLARE_EVENT_TYPES()
DECLARE_EVENT_TYPE(wxEVT_NETWORK, -1)
END_DECLARE_EVENT_TYPES()

DEFINE_EVENT_TYPE(wxEVT_NETWORK)

typedef void (wxEvtHandler::*wxNetworkEventFunction)(wxNetworkEvent&);

#define EVT_NETWORK(id, fn) \
DECLARE_EVENT_TABLE_ENTRY( \
wxEVT_NETWORK, id, wxID_ANY, \
(wxObjectEventFunction) (wxEventFunction) wxStaticCastEvent(
wxNetworkEventFunction, & fn ), \
(wxObject *) NULL \
),

BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE( Mainframe, wxFrame )
EVT_NETWORK( wxID_ANY, Mainframe::getIM )
END_EVENT_TABLE()
============================================================================


this is how the event is made in the worker thread (m_pkMainEvtHandler is a
member pointer to the main threads evt handler):
============================================================================
wxNetworkEvent evt(wxEVT_NETWORK, wxID_ANY);
evt.setHeader( sHeader );
evt.SetClientData( pvData );
m_pkMainEvtHandler->AddPendingEvent(evt);
============================================================================

and here the function where the event should get processed - but it never
jumps into:
============================================================================
void Mainframe::getIM( wxNetworkEvent& evt )
{
sTCP_Header tmp = evt.getHeader();
char *p = (char*)evt.GetClientData();
wxString strMsg = p;
unsigned int uiLen = 4;
strMsg = strMsg.Left( uiLen );
...
}
============================================================================



I hope you see whats wrong here - I don’t get any error messages during
compile, link or execution time. also debugging didn’t get me further. for
me it looks like it gets normally appended into the event handler queue.

kind regards, juergen
