Fine,
But then the OP's should already have what he needs needs ...
Do in fact Lazarus and MSEGUI use this in the way it is intended ?
Lazarus certainly does.
A request now might be that the FPC RTL offers a non-gui implementation
of a message queue that works directly on the system API of the
supported OSes to allow for events like those that are thrown by things
like TTimer and TThread.synchronize or to be captured by a construct
like "procedure ... message". Here MSEGUI on Linux implements something
based on Signals. (On Windows it supposedly is based on Windows Messages.)
I feel that something like would be worth being provided in the more
"general" FPC distribution.
Feel free to contibute a descendent of TCustomApplication that adds a
message queue. Personally, I don't see the need, but I can imagine
that someone does.
I say a descendent of TCustomApplication because I don't think it belongs
in TCustomApplication itself, because not all applications need a message
queue.
Michael.
