The APE Event class implements a feature originally found in the WIN32 API; event notification. A target thread waits on a resetable Event, and one or more other threads can then signal the waiting thread to resume execution. A timeout can be used to specify a wait duration in milliseconds. The Event class must be reset before it can be used again as a trigger.
void Reset (void) |
Once signaled, the Event class must be "reset" before responding to a new signal.
