wxSOCKET_INPUT is an enum wxSocketNotify, an integer with a value of 0, not an event type. > "Lua: Error while running chunk > ... > wxLua: Invalid or unknown wxEventType for wxEvtHandler::Connect() : 0, > winIds -1, -1." > > I can't seem to find any example code using wxSocketClient in Lua anywhere. > All the C++ code I've seen uses the EVT_SOCKET macro, but that's not > available in pure Lua. The EVT_XXX() are C_++ macros that statically connect events at compile time, so wxLua cannot use them, instead we use the dynamic events and the wxEvtHandler::Connect() function. The mapping between the EVT_XXX() macros and the dynamic event types are described in the doc below. Search for EVT_SOCKET and you'll see that you want to use wxEVT_SOCKET and that you will get a wxSocketEvent object in your callback function. Note that the names aren't always so easy to guess. http://wxlua.sourceforge.net/docs/wxluaref.html You can use any wxEvtHandler derived class you want, typically people will use their wxFrame or a wxWindow that they already have.
