some thing like  io_service::wait_events(); but , does not dispatch
the event. I can run seperated thread to call this, then post message
to gui thread, let gui thread run  io_service::poll() to dispatch the
handlers;

if the hander is executed in gui thread, we can avoid lots of
synchronization code between gui thread and asio thread( if
io_service::run() has to be run in seperated thread. ).
