wx.ThreadEvent¶

This class adds some simple functionality to wx.Event to facilitate inter-thread communication.

This event is not natively emitted by any control/class: it is just a helper class for the user. Its most important feature is the GetEventCategory implementation which allows thread events NOT to be processed by wx.EventLoopBase.YieldFor calls (unless the wxEVT_CATEGORY_THREAD is specified - which is never in code).

New in version 2.9.0.

Methods Summary¶

`__init__`	Constructor.
`Clone`	Clones this event making sure that all internal members which use `COW` (only `m_commandString` for now; see Reference Counting) are unshared (see `wx.Object.UnShare` ).
`GetEventCategory`	Returns `wxEVT_CATEGORY_THREAD` .
`GetExtraLong`	Returns extra information integer value.
`GetInt`	Returns stored integer value.
`GetString`	Returns stored string value.
`SetExtraLong`	Sets the extra information value.
`SetInt`	Sets the integer value.
`SetString`	Sets the string value.

Properties Summary¶

`EventCategory`	See `GetEventCategory`
`ExtraLong`	See `GetExtraLong` and `SetExtraLong`
`Int`	See `GetInt` and `SetInt`
`String`	See `GetString` and `SetString`

Class API¶

class wx.ThreadEvent(Event)¶

Possible constructors:

ThreadEvent(eventType=wxEVT_THREAD, id=ID_ANY)

This class adds some simple functionality to Event to facilitate inter-thread communication.

Methods¶

__init__(self, eventType=wxEVT_THREAD, id=ID_ANY)¶

Constructor.

Parameters

eventType (wx.EventType) –
id (int) –

Clone(self)¶

Clones this event making sure that all internal members which use COW (only m_commandString for now; see Reference Counting) are unshared (see wx.Object.UnShare ).

Return type: wx.Event

GetEventCategory(self)¶

Returns wxEVT_CATEGORY_THREAD .

This is important to avoid unwanted processing of thread events when calling wx.EventLoopBase.YieldFor .

Return type: wx.EventCategory

GetExtraLong(self)¶

Returns extra information integer value.

Return type: long

GetInt(self)¶

Returns stored integer value.

Return type: int

GetString(self)¶

Returns stored string value.

Return type: string

SetExtraLong(self, extraLong)¶

Sets the extra information value.

Parameters: extraLong (long) –

SetInt(self, intCommand)¶

Sets the integer value.

Parameters: intCommand (int) –

SetString(self, string)¶

Sets the string value.

Parameters: string (string) –
