plResult	WaitForMessages (plTime timeout=plTime::MakeZero())
	Block and wait for new messages and call ProcessMessages.

Public Attributes

Detailed Description

A protocol around plIpcChannel to send reflected messages instead of byte array messages between client and server.

This wrapper class hooks into an existing plIpcChannel. The plIpcChannel is still responsible for all connection logic. This class merely provides a high-level messaging protocol via reflected messages derived from plProcessMessage. Note that if this class is used, plIpcChannel::Send must not be called manually anymore, only use plIpcProcessMessageProtocol::Send. Received messages are stored in a queue and must be flushed via calling ProcessMessages or WaitForMessages.
