Detailed Description

A class to monitor events from the C++ side of things.

It maintains a set of "hooks", function pointers assigned to event names, and calls the appropriate hooks when the matching event is detected.

This class is not necessary when the hooks are detected and processed entirely by the scripting language, e.g. via Scheme hooks or the messenger in Python.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add_hook() [1/2]

bool EventHandler::add_hook ( const string &  event_name,
EventFunction *  function 
)

Adds the indicated function to the list of those that will be called when the named event is thrown.

Returns true if the function was successfully added, false if it was already defined on the indicated event name.

Definition at line 147 of file eventHandler.cxx.

Referenced by dispatch_event().

◆ add_hook() [2/2]

bool EventHandler::add_hook ( const string &  event_name,
EventCallbackFunction *  function,
void *  data 
)

Adds the indicated function to the list of those that will be called when the named event is thrown.

Returns true if the function was successfully added, false if it was already defined on the indicated event name. This version records an untyped pointer to user callback data.

Definition at line 170 of file eventHandler.cxx.

References has_hook().

◆ dispatch_event()

void EventHandler::dispatch_event ( const Event event)
virtual

Calls the hooks assigned to the indicated single event.

Definition at line 55 of file eventHandler.cxx.

References add_hook().

Referenced by process_events().

◆ get_global_event_handler()

EventHandler * EventHandler::get_global_event_handler ( EventQueue queue = NULL)
inlinestatic

Returns a pointer to the one global EventHandler object.

If the global object has not yet been created, this will create it.

Definition at line 24 of file eventHandler.I.

◆ has_hook()

bool EventHandler::has_hook ( const string &  event_name) const

Returns true if there is any hook added on the indicated event name, false otherwise.

Definition at line 184 of file eventHandler.cxx.

References remove_hook().

Referenced by add_hook().

◆ process_events()

void EventHandler::process_events ( )

The main processing loop of the EventHandler.

This function must be called periodically to service events. Walks through each pending event and calls its assigned hooks.

Definition at line 42 of file eventHandler.cxx.

References dispatch_event().

◆ remove_all_hooks()

void EventHandler::remove_all_hooks ( )

Removes all hooks assigned to all events.

Definition at line 304 of file eventHandler.cxx.

References EventQueue::get_global_event_queue().

Referenced by remove_hooks_with().

◆ remove_hook() [1/2]

bool EventHandler::remove_hook ( const string &  event_name,
EventFunction *  function 
)

Removes the indicated function from the named event hook.

Returns true if the hook was removed, false if it wasn't there in the first place.

Definition at line 214 of file eventHandler.cxx.

Referenced by has_hook().

◆ remove_hook() [2/2]

bool EventHandler::remove_hook ( const string &  event_name,
EventCallbackFunction *  function,
void *  data 
)

Removes the indicated function from the named event hook.

Returns true if the hook was removed, false if it wasn't there in the first place. This version takes an untyped pointer to user callback data.

Definition at line 230 of file eventHandler.cxx.

References remove_hooks().

◆ remove_hooks()

bool EventHandler::remove_hooks ( const string &  event_name)

Removes all functions from the named event hook.

Returns true if any functions were removed, false if there were no functions added to the hook.

Definition at line 245 of file eventHandler.cxx.

References remove_hooks_with().

◆ remove_hooks_with()

bool EventHandler::remove_hooks_with ( void *  data)

Removes all CallbackFunction hooks that have the indicated pointer as the associated data pointer.
