[Wxlua-users] Native callbacks in wxLua?

[Chris M. <ch...@ma...>]

A while ago, John and I discussed the changes I made to the older 
version of wxLua I was using. My big issue was being able to run the 
wxApp event loop in a separate thread from Emma. Because of this I could 
not call Lua functions that had been connected because they would run in 
the wrong thread. So I came up with a native callback mechanism. This 
basically used the same Connect() model that wxLua uses, but it uses a 
form that registers a C++ callback rather than a Lua function. wxLua 
would call this callback and my native function would send a message to 
the thread running the Lua interpreter to execute the Lua function.

All this inter-thread comm is done in my app, so all wxLua needs is the 
ability to register native callbacks. I discussed adding this to this 
latest incarnation of wxLua with John. It does not look like that was 
ever added.

John, any resolution on adding this? If there is still interest, I will 
switch over to your version of wxLua, make my changes there and make 
them available to you. My goal, of course, is to use a stock version of 
wxLua!

Let me know, thanks...
