I'm not so much involved in any Windows programming however I needed
to write a client for the Windows platform. I have this very simple
question which I've been unable to answer. I'm listening for keyboard
strokes using the pyhook library. I'm doing this in a dedicated
thread. The gui just controls the thread. When I want to pause
listening for keyboard strokes I wanted to do a PostQuitMessage() to
the thread. However this does not work since it either kills the whole
app or just does not happen in the thread it's supposed to. I've now
made an ugly workaround using PumpWaitingMessages and a delay.
If you have a GUI, then very likely it has its own message loop, so you
should not create another.
def run(self):
print "Wkeylog run called"
# Hook Keyboard
self.hm.HookKeyboard()
while self.log:
win32gui.PumpWaitingMessages()
time.sleep(0.02)
i can now just cancel the process by setting self.log to False. I
wanted to do just:
def run(self):
print "Wkeylog run called"
# Hook Keyboard
self.hm.HookKeyboard()
win32gui.PumpMessages()
Then, if you remove PumpMesages and PumpWaitingMessages, there is nothing
left... so this thread is useless.
Perhaps you want to *process* keyboard events in another thread - in this
case, use a Queue object to send events to the worker thread, from the
main thread where the message loop resides.
