You can create your own event types, and post them directly to the
Carbon Event queue of the secondary thread. You can install
handlers on the event dispatcher for that thread, using
GetEventDispatcherTarget to get the event target for that thread.
Then in the secondary thread, ReceiveNextEvent, and then
SendEventToEventTarget. Maybe that's a little roundabout, but it
works.
Actually, this isn't quite right; there is only one event dispatcher
target, and it only applies to the main thread. There is no event
dispatcher target for a secondary thread.
Generally, the way apps use events posted to secondary threads would
be by calling ReceiveNextEvent on that thread's event queue, and
after the event is returned, just unpacking it and handling it right
there in the loop, without sending it to any further event target.
