|
|
||
|
|
The TQEventLoop class manages the event queue.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> It receives events from the window system and other sources. It
|
||
|
13 years ago
|
then sends them to <a href="ntqapplication.html">TQApplication</a> for processing and delivery.
|
||
|
13 years ago
|
<p> TQEventLoop allows the application programmer to have more control
|
||
|
|
over event delivery. Programs that perform long operations can
|
||
|
|
call either processOneEvent() or <a href="#processEvents">processEvents</a>() with various
|
||
|
|
ProcessEvent values OR'ed together to control which events should
|
||
|
|
be delivered.
|
||
|
|
<p> TQEventLoop also allows the integration of an external event loop
|
||
|
|
with the TQt event loop. The <a href="motif-extension.html#Motif">Motif</a> Extension included with TQt
|
||
|
|
includes a reimplementation of TQEventLoop for merging TQt and Motif
|
||
|
|
events together.
|
||
|
|
<p> To use your own instance of TQEventLoop or TQEventLoop subclass create
|
||
|
|
it before you create the TQApplication object.
|
||
|
|
<p>See also <a href="application.html">Main Window and Related Classes</a> and <a href="events.html">Event Classes</a>.

<h3 class=fn><a name="ProcessEvents-enum"></a>TQEventLoop::ProcessEvents</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p> This enum controls the types of events processed by the

|
<a href="#processEvents">processEvents</a>() functions.
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><tt>TQEventLoop::AllEvents</tt> - All events are processed
|
||
|
|
<li><tt>TQEventLoop::ExcludeUserInput</tt> - Do not process user input events.
|
||
|
|
( ButtonPress, KeyPress, etc. )
|
||
|
|
<li><tt>TQEventLoop::ExcludeSocketNotifiers</tt> - Do not process socket notifier
|
||
|
|
events.
|
||
|
|
<li><tt>TQEventLoop::WaitForMore</tt> - Wait for events if no pending events
|
||

are available.

</h3>
|
||
|
|
Creates a TQEventLoop object, this object becomes the global event loop object.
|
||
|
|
There can only be one event loop object. The TQEventLoop is usually constructed
|
||
|
13 years ago
|
by calling <a href="ntqapplication.html#eventLoop">TQApplication::eventLoop</a>(). To create your own event loop object create
|
||
|
|
it before you instantiate the <a href="ntqapplication.html">TQApplication</a> object.
|
||

|
<p> The <em>parent</em> and <em>name</em> arguments are passed on to the <a href="tqobject.html">TQObject</a> constructor.

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="aboutToBlock"></a>TQEventLoop::aboutToBlock ()<tt> [signal]</tt>
|
||
|

</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p> This signal is emitted before the event loop calls a function that
|
||
|
|
could block.
|

<p> <p>See also <a href="#awake">awake</a>().
|
||
|
|

|
|
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="activateSocketNotifiers"></a>TQEventLoop::activateSocketNotifiers ()
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p> Activates all pending socket notifiers and returns the number of
|
||
|
|
socket notifiers that were activated.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="activateTimers"></a>TQEventLoop::activateTimers ()
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p> Activates all TQt timers and returns the number of timers that were
|
||
|
|
activated.
|
||
|
|
<p> TQEventLoop subclasses that do their own timer handling need to
|
||
|
|
call this after the time returned by <a href="#timeToWait">timeToWait</a>() has elapsed.
|
||
|
|
<p> Note: This function is only useful on systems where <tt>select()</tt> is
|
||
|
|
used to block the eventloop. On Windows, this function always
|
||
|
|
returns 0. On MacOS X, this function always returns 0 when the
|
||
|
|
GUI is enabled. On MacOS X, this function returns the documented
|

value when the GUI is disabled.

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="awake"></a>TQEventLoop::awake ()<tt> [signal]</tt>

|

<p> This signal is emitted after the event loop returns from a

function that could block.
|

<p> <p>See also <a href="#wakeUp">wakeUp</a>() and <a href="#aboutToBlock">aboutToBlock</a>().

<p> This function enters the main event loop (recursively). Do not call

|
it unless you really know what you are doing.
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="exec"></a>TQEventLoop::exec ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
Enters the main event loop and waits until <a href="#exit">exit</a>() is called, and
|
||
|
|
returns the value that was set to exit().
|
||
|
|
<p> It is necessary to call this function to start event handling. The
|
||
|
|
main event loop receives events from the window system and
|
||
|
|
dispatches these to the application widgets.
|
||
|
|
<p> Generally speaking, no user interaction can take place before
|
||
|
13 years ago
|
calling <a href="#exec">exec</a>(). As a special case, modal widgets like <a href="ntqmessagebox.html">TQMessageBox</a>
|
||
|
13 years ago
|
can be used before calling exec(), because modal widgets call
|
||
|
|
exec() to start a local event loop.
|
||
|
|
<p> To make your application perform idle processing, i.e. executing a
|
||
|
|
special function whenever there are no pending events, use a
|
||
|
6 months ago
|
<a href="tqtimer.html">TQTimer</a> with 0 timeout. More advanced idle processing schemes can
|
||
|
13 years ago
|
be achieved using <a href="#processEvents">processEvents</a>().
|
||
|
13 years ago
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="ntqapplication.html#quit">TQApplication::quit</a>(), <a href="#exit">exit</a>(), and <a href="#processEvents">processEvents</a>().

<h3 class=fn>void <a name="exit"></a>TQEventLoop::exit ( int retcode = 0 )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
||
|
|
</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p> Tells the event loop to exit with a return code.
|
||
|
|
<p> After this function has been called, the event loop returns from
|
||
|
|
the call to <a href="#exec">exec</a>(). The exec() function returns <em>retcode</em>.
|
||
|
|
<p> By convention, a <em>retcode</em> of 0 means success, and any non-zero
|
||
|
|
value indicates an error.
|
||
|
|
<p> Note that unlike the C library function of the same name, this
|
||
|
|
function <em>does</em> return to the caller -- it is event processing that
|
||
|
|
stops.

Do not call it unless you really know what you are doing.

|

|
|
Process pending events that match <em>flags</em> for a maximum of <em>maxTime</em> milliseconds, or until there are no more events to
|
||
|
|
process, which ever is shorter.
|
||
|
|
<p> This function is especially useful if you have a long running
|
||
|
|
operation and want to show its progress without allowing user
|
||
|
|
input, i.e. by using the <a href="#ProcessEvents-enum">ExcludeUserInput</a> flag.
|
||
|
|
<p> NOTE: This function will not process events continuously; it
|

|
|
returns after all available events are processed.
|
||
|
|
<p> NOTE: Specifying the <a href="#ProcessEvents-enum">WaitForMore</a> flag makes no sense and will

|
|
be ignored.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
||
|
|
<p> Processes pending events that match <em>flags</em> until there are no
|
||
|
|
more events to process.
|
||
|
|
<p> This function is especially useful if you have a long running
|

|

|
|
input, i.e. by using the <a href="#ProcessEvents-enum">ExcludeUserInput</a> flag.
|
||
|
|
<p> If the <a href="#ProcessEvents-enum">WaitForMore</a> flag is set in <em>flags</em>, the behavior of
|
||
|
|
this function is as follows:
|
||
|
|
<p> <ul>
|
||
|
|
<p> <li> If events are available, this function returns after processing
|
||
|
|
them.
|
||
|
|
<p> <li> If no events are available, this function will wait until more
|
||
|
|
are available and return after processing newly available events.
|
||
|
|
<p> </ul>
|
||
|
|
<p> If the <a href="#ProcessEvents-enum">WaitForMore</a> flag is <em>not</em> set in <em>flags</em>, and no
|
||
|
|
events are available, this function will return immediately.
|
||
|
|
<p> NOTE: This function will not process events continuously; it
|

returns after all available events are processed.
|
