Subject: Sending and receiving windows messages with ruby.

I'm trying to send and receive windows messages between a ruby app
and a c++ app but I'm not having any luck.  I tried calling
sendmessage and getmessage using rubydl but I don't think that's
going to work because console apps don't have message queues right?
Well anyway I am trying to use wxRuby now and think I'm close but the
one function that I need to override or whatever to catch the messages
doesn't appear to be available in wxruby.  From the faq on the site
says the function is called MSWWWindowProc()
http://www.wxwidgets.org/faqmsw.htm#handlewm .How do I go about
overriding this function so I can catch windows messages?  If anyone
knows easy way to do this without a gui toolkit please let me know
because all I want to do is parse data in a console app and all these
gui toolkits make everything so difficult.
