Hi Experts.
I would happily try to do something like that myself, but at least for the
rest of this year I will not find the time :( . But as this thought comes in
my mind, I now try to collect information on this issue.
I am having a déjà vu :-)
I have told you many years ago on these very mailing lists that what you need
to do is create a TCustomApplication" descendant which implements a simple event loop.
This can be done based on libevent, fpasync, lnet, glib event loop, dbus or some other
custom-made mechanism.
If memory serves me well, MSEGUI contains such an event loop descendent using a
custom made mechanism.
There is nothing magical about such an application. Basically, it watches one
or more
file descriptors (object handles in windows-speak) for changes, using a timeout,
and triggers some event handler when something happens. It calls checksynchronize
from time to time. That's it.
It should not take more than an hour to implement.
Michael.
