Re: LuaCOM and message loops

[mascarenhas@... (Fabio Mascarenhas)]

Hi,

You can use luacom.StartMessageLoop to start a Windows message loop. To 
this function, you can pass a function and a list of arguments, and this 
function will be called in each iteration of the loop:

luacom.StartMessageLoop(mycode, arg1, arg2)

You can look at how this function is implemented to implement the same 
thing with coroutines (so you would call yield whtn you want another 
iteration of the message loop, instead of returning). LuaCOM had to work 
with Lua 4.0, also, so it does not use coroutines.
