Hello,

I'd like to use wxIPC with a console app. But it crashes. I've read that
you need to implement a main loop yourself for a console app but not for
a regular GUI wxAPP. So I guess the events are handled by wxApp and not
by wxConsoleApp and that's why it crashes?
Is there someone here who can give some information about what I can do
to make wxIPC work? How do I know which wx libraries are going to work
OK with wxConsoleApp?

Thanks a lot,
kind regards,
Tom,

You are making a strictly a command line app?
I have apps that run with either a GUI or from the command line with
no GUI built in wxWidgets.

I just create the wxApp with no default window and put my command
processing in the Init function of the window (command line parsing
and then execution_.
If the user just double clicks my app, I create a main window and let
it handle input. If I'm called from the command line with a flag
indicating background mode, I have no GUI at all.
It was easy t set up still using the wxApp functions.

David

well, I've tried with wxApp and wxIPC, without making a window, but this
crashed after some time.
Also I don't need a GUI indeed, so I don't want to link with all the GUI
libraries of wxWidgets.

Best regards,
Tom,

Just build a standard "main" project and link with wx_base and
wx_base_net if you need network support.
