Important note for documentation of wxThread::Delete

[silver.moon]

While working with threads and wxThread::Delete I came across a strange behaviour.
That is, if you call Delete in some event handler, while that handler has not yet finished, other events are getting processed.

Code: Select all

void MyClass::OnEvent()
{
	print 1;
	m_thread->Delete();
	print 2;
}

void MyClass::OnAnotherEvent()
{
	print 3;
}

And the output is ..... 1 3 2

Luckily, I found this wiki page https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxThread which says

Code: Select all

Delete(), while waiting for the thread to destroy itself, processes messages.

This should be mentioned in the docs. Its quite important I guess.

Check the "waitmode" parameter.

Thanks, I see it now.

I just looked at the function signature, "wxThreadWait waitMode = wxTHREAD_WAIT_BLOCK" so thought that its using block mode.
But looks like I need to specify it, on MSW
