Ok ignore my last post.  After looking at my own code I have a much simpler 
method that does not involve a wxWindow.

In your class that has wxSocketBase inherit from wxEvtHandler.

In your class constructor do the following

this->theSocket->SetEventHandler(*this, SERVER_ID);

//set the event handler

this->Connect( wxEVT_SOCKET, 
wxSocketEventHandler(YourClassWithwxSocketBaseReference::OnServerEvent), 
NULL, this);

This will set up the server to listen for incoming connections.

In your OnServerEvent function you want to create a new socket base and then 
use this code

theSocketBase->SerEventHandler(*this, SOCKET_ID);

this->Connect( wxEVT_SOCKET, 
wxSocketEventHandler(YourClassWithwxSocketBaseReference::OnSocketEvent ), 
NULL, this );

I think this, as a whole, makes much more sense than using wxWindows.  It 
seems you have helped me as well with your question.
