Creating a new / simulating a message pump

[Roland Dick]

Hi,

I'm using a vendor SDK for .net for WWAN communication functions
(Intermec WWANToolkit). The methods of this library require to be called
within a thread that has a message pump, otherwise some events don't get
fired

My application is fairly big and aiming at different devices; all the
code that calls the WWANToolkit stuff is in a separate thread (without a
message pump).

Therefore my question: How can I create a message pump in my separate
thread? I don't think an additional Application.Run is the recommended
way of doing this, right?

Can I somehow get my thread to use the same message loop as the main thread?

Thanks for any hints,

Roland

Take a look at the ApplicationEx.Run method in the SDF. You could use it in
a thread to generate a new message pump, or take the source and is it
however you'd like for the same.
