As far as I can tell, evertyhing is working just fine, even after you shutdown the threads... The only problem is the one I already reported... the Maya menu looses its events, so menus dont do anything...
But if you use hotbox, everything works just fine... I think the menu is a OSX only problem, related to the menubar not being properly restored by wxPython... I'm going to do some tests, trying to save the current menu before calling wxApp, and make wxApp switch it when looses focus... will see... But no crashes or hangs... so far so good! :) My pumpthread actually sends idle events using utils.executeDeferred(), which prevents it from throw too many idle events, as executeDefered holds the threads until it gets executed... which only helps during a idle event anyway... so, aparently, it looks to be pretty synchronized! Just to add... I added a checkbox control that dinamically connects to a node attribute... it spawns a thread that monitors if the attribute in maya changes... if so, updates the checkbox automatically... works great! The thread is a unique thread to all controls... so as you add more controls, they are added to a heap that the thread pops from to do the checking... So, we'll see how BAD it will be with loads of controls later... to test it, just sync up and run: wxmaya.demos.controls() -H On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 2:19 PM, Chris G <[email protected]> wrote: > > That problem should go away if your pumpThread synchronizes with the > main thread instead of burying it with idle events, or is this a > different issue? > > > On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 12:15 AM, Chad Dombrova <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > The threading seens to hold up pretty well... so far no crashs!! > > > > the problem with osx is *after* you shut down the other thread the main > > thread never recovers: you can't open new windows, etc. > > -chad > > > > > > I'm happy!! :) > > > > I also started porting the controls to wxmaya.
