set_system_doevents
| Definition: | set_system_doevents(integer rid, object params) |
| Description: | Declare a routine to be periodically invoked while a system_exec() is in progress. |
| pwa/p2js: | Not supported. |
| Comments: |
When used correctly this can prevent an application from becoming non-responsive while
waiting for some other application to finish.
Note this routine has no known equivalent in Euphoria. |
| Example: |
include arwen.ew -- (for doEvents(0))
set_system_doevents(routine_id("doEvents"),{0})
...
exit_code = system_exec(cmd)
|
| Implementation: | See builtins\syswait.ew (an autoinclude) for details of the actual implementation. |
