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).

Added 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) -> None

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)

Return type:

None

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:: int

GetInt(self)¶

Returns stored integer value.

Return type:: int

GetString(self)¶

Returns stored string value.

Return type:: str

SetExtraLong(self, extraLong)¶

Sets the extra information value.

Parameters:: extraLong (long)
Return type:: None

SetInt(self, intCommand)¶

Sets the integer value.

Parameters:: intCommand (int)
Return type:: None

SetString(self, string)¶

Sets the string value.

Parameters:: string (string)
Return type:: None
