As for an event loop... I would have to say no because I am not sure what an event loop is. It is strange because if I turn the timers setInterval(100) to start(100) it will trigger... but after I run my Start() method from a function in my MainWindow it stops... and obviously stops on my Stop() method. So I know the connection is setup. I must be missing something fundamental.
