@class wxEventLoopBase
|
|
|
|
Base class for all event loop implementations.
|
|
|
|
An event loop is a class which queries the queue of native events sent
|
|
to the wxWidgets application and dispatches them to the appropriate
|
|
wxEvtHandlers.
|
|
|
|
An object of this class is created by wxAppTraits::CreateEventLoop() and
|
|
used by wxApp to run the main application event loop.
|
|
Temporary event loops are usually created by wxDialog::ShowModal().
|
|
|
|
You can create your own event loop if you need, provided that you restore
|
|
the main event loop once yours is destroyed (see wxEventLoopActivator).

Yields control to pending messages in the windowing system.

This can be useful, for example, when a time-consuming process writes to a
|
|
text window. Without an occasional yield, the text window will not be updated
|
|
properly, and on systems with cooperative multitasking, such as Windows 3.1
|
|
other processes will not respond.
|
|
|
|
Caution should be exercised, however, since yielding may allow the
|
|
user to perform actions which are not compatible with the current task.
|
|
Disabling menu items or whole menus during processing can avoid unwanted
|
|
reentrance of code: see ::wxSafeYield for a better function.
|
|
You can avoid unwanted reentrancies also using IsYielding().
|
|
|
|
Note that Yield() will not flush the message logs. This is intentional as
|
|
calling Yield() is usually done to quickly update the screen and popping up
|
|
a message box dialog may be undesirable. If you do wish to flush the log
|
|
messages immediately (otherwise it will be done during the next idle loop
|
|
iteration), call wxLog::FlushActive.
|
|
|
|
Calling Yield() recursively is normally an error and an assert failure is
|
|
raised in debug build if such situation is detected. However if the
|
|
@a onlyIfNeeded parameter is @true, the method will just silently
|
|
return @false instead.

the caller to specify a mask of the ::wxEventCategory values which

indicates which events should be processed and which should instead
|
|
be "delayed" (i.e. processed by the main loop later).
|
|
|
|
Note that this is a safer alternative to Yield() since it ensures that
|
|
only the events you're interested to will be processed; i.e. this method
|
|
helps to avoid unwanted reentrancies.
|
|
|
|
Note that currently only wxMSW and wxGTK do support selective yield of

|
native events coming from the underlying GUI toolkit.

wxWidgets events posted using wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent or

wxEvtHandler::QueueEvent are instead selectively processed by all ports.
