RE: [platform-swt-dev] ActiveX fire event fails in multithreading mode (with AfxBeginThread) 
Maybe I don't get this, but syncExec() and asyncExec() is used for
invoking a method from a non-UI thread...

But my (ActiveX) EventListener runs in the main UI thread:

		layout.controlSite.addEventListener(1, new OleListener()
{
			public void handleEvent(OleEvent event) {
				Shell shell = Layout.getShell();
				MessageDialog.openInformation(shell,
"activex fired me", "activex fired me");
			}
		});

So I don't think this is the problem. If I am wrong, please correct me!

I tried the whole thing out in an MFC application and the application
could get the events 
from the activeX component even if the event was fired in an afx thread
or even not.
