Clear pending events

[Maximilian Matthé]

Hello!

I have the following problem: I have a heavy calculation that is split 
into two threads. Both threads add pending events to an event handler 
class that updates a progress dialog. So I can show the progress of the 
calculation.

Both threads are joinable, I create them via new in a function, wait for 
them and delete the threads. The handler is created as a stack variable 
just in that function. So, when the threads are done, the handler is 
destructed automatically. But it seems, that there are pending events in 
the event loop of the application which can only be handled by the stack 
event handler (its a user defined event type). Thus the message queue is 
blocked by those events, and e.g. wxLogError does not show messageboxes 
but waits until the end of the program.

So my question is: How can i clear the messageloop from those pending 
events? I tried this: while(app->Pending()) app->Dispatch(); but this 
had no effect.
I dont want to create the handler with new, becuase i only need it in 
this function, and nobody could delete it afterwards.

I hope you can help
