Hello.
In a custom thread, I call SpecialEventAdd(id, p1, p2) and I have a dialog that is supposed to process this event.
The problem is that for some reason CheckCoreMessage returns false even thought the event has not been already processed.
What can I do to properly handle the special event ?
Thank you.

Hi,
hard to say, but maybe it helps to provide some background info.
SpecialEventAdd() posts an event into a queue. In certain intervals in the main thread these events will be processed and distributed. When doing so, the events get a timestamp (a counter in BFM_CORE_UNIQUEID). This timestamp is identical for all events distributed in one interval.
CheckCoreMessage() checks a timestamp of the event and stores it in a member variable of the GeDialog (if ownlastcoremsg parameter is not provided).
This might already be an issue in your case. For example, if a bunch of events pile up, only the first would pass CheckCoreMessage() as all following would have the same timestamp (even though the events are of different type).
A solution may be to do CheckCoreMessage() based on event type and store the last timestamp on your own (via ownlastcoremsg parameter).
Let me know, if this helped.
