Code: Select all

#define WX_REFRESH_GUI    10001
//...
void* wxMyThread::Entry()
{
         //...
         while(g_bRun)
	 {
             for(  //...)
	     {
                //...
	        wxCommandEvent CommandEvent( wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED , WX_REFRESH_GUI ) ;
                wxPostEvent( m_pUpdateHdr , CommandEvent ) ;	
	     }
	     Sleep( 3000 ) ;
	 }
         return NULL ;
}

if the program run a long time , i can see the DebugView print a lot of this infomation:\wxWidgets-2.8.8\wxWidgets-2.8.8\src\msw\app.cpp(562): 'PostMessage(WM_NULL)' failed with error 0x00000718 .
and the CPU 95%

lmfao...This is the code inside app.cpp that causes this error.

Code: Select all

void wxApp::WakeUpIdle()
{
    // Send the top window a dummy message so idle handler processing will
    // start up again.  Doing it this way ensures that the idle handler
    // wakes up in the right thread (see also wxWakeUpMainThread() which does
    // the same for the main app thread only)
    wxWindow * const topWindow = wxTheApp->GetTopWindow();
    if ( topWindow )
    {
        HWND hwndTop = GetHwndOf(topWindow);

        // Do not post WM_NULL if there's already a pending WM_NULL to avoid
        // overflowing the message queue.
        //
        // Notice that due to a limitation of PeekMessage() API (which handles
        // 0,0 range specially), we have to check the range from 0-1 instead.
        // This still makes it possible to overflow the queue with WM_NULLs by
        // interspersing the calles to WakeUpIdle() with windows creation but
        // it should be rather hard to do it accidentally.
        MSG msg;
        if ( !::PeekMessage(&msg, hwndTop, 0, 1, PM_NOREMOVE) ||
              ::PeekMessage(&msg, hwndTop, 1, 1, PM_NOREMOVE) )
        {
            if ( !::PostMessage(hwndTop, WM_NULL, 0, 0) )
            {
                // should never happen
                wxLogLastError(wxT("PostMessage(WM_NULL)"));
            }
        }
    }
}

With some googling i found this :

The "WM_NULL" message under Windows seems to come from wxWidgets when the desktop is not accessible (screensaver launched, or screen off). Try with all power saving functions off.

Maybe it's a start?

I have not use PostMessage(WM_NULL) , but the wxwidgets use the PostMessage(WM_NULL)

The problem is addressed inside the app.cpp code. the message you are getting should literally never happen. When that is called it means that the PostMessage function failed. If you look it up in the MSDN, HERE, you will find a little bit information that you may find will help you. It seems that this sometimes has a problem with Vista or later. Try running the app in administrator mode.

I had add this code:

Code: Select all

WXLRESULT MyFrame::MSWWindowProc(WXUINT message, WXWPARAM wParam, WXLPARAM lParam)
{
	if ( message == WM_NULL )
	{
		wxGetApp().ProcessPendingEvents() ;
	}

	return wxFrame::MSWWindowProc( message , wParam , lParam ) ;
}
