Re: Not thread safe events?

Actually, this isn't quite right; there is only one event dispatcher

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.

Ah! I had been wondering if I had an extra step in there. However, when I "SendEventToEventTarget" from the second thread to a target of the Event Dispatcher, it seems to execute the installed handler in the second thread as expected. But even if it's working, I can see that it is redundant if there are no other event targets in the thread.
