Hey all,

    This is not directly cURL related, but I figured this would be the best place to get awnsers so thanks in advance.

I'm trying to right a Multi-IM client (GAIM/ Trillian ) and am stumbling a little on the queueing system. Below is the code that I have right now (also attached). There is a listening thread, that then spawns a handler thread and goes back to listening. Im getting problems right now when 2 events come in at once, and event 2 before event 1, so I would create a queue, and in the listner just push that event on to the queue, but what how do i handle the executing of events ? Would it be another thread that sits in a forever while loop enumerating through the deque ? Any ideas are appreciated thanks!

void AIMMain() {
 while (1) {
  try {
   uchar *data = new uchar[8192];
   long rec = 0;
   memset(data,0,8192);
   if (g_aim->Main(data,rec)) {
    ThreadData *d = new ThreadData(data,rec);
    delete [] data;
    CreateThread(0,0,(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)AIMHandle,(LPVOID)d,0,0);

   }
   else break;

  }
  catch (...) {
   AfxMessageBox("Fatal error");
   break;
  }
 }
}

void AIMHandle(LPVOID d) {

 AIMEvent event = g_aim->Handle(((ThreadData*)d)->data,((ThreadData*)d)->recvd);
 switch (event.Type) {
 case UIM_RECV_MESSAGE_ONLINE: {
  AfxMessageBox(event.message.Message.c_str());
  break;
 }
 case UIM_RECV_MESSAGE_OFFLINE: {
  AfxMessageBox(event.message.Message.c_str());
  break;
 }
 case UIM_BUDDY_WENT_ONLINE: {
  theApp.m_pMainFrame->BuddyWentOnline(event.contact.ScreenName);
  break;
 }

 case UIM_BUDDY_WENT_OFFLINE: {
// AfxMessageBox("OFFLINE");
// AfxMessageBox(event.contact.ScreenName.c_str());

  break;
 }
 case UIM_LOGGED_IN: {
  theApp.m_pMainFrame->StopAnimation();
  theApp.m_pMainFrame->ResetAnimation();
  theApp.m_pMainFrame->SetWindowText("Logged in");
  AfxMessageBox("LOGGED IN");
  break;
 }
 case UIM_ERROR:
  if (event.ErrorCode == 0xa) {
           

  
  }
  break;
 default :
  break;
 }

 delete d;
}
