Detailed Description

This class provides a way to execute application code in the main thread in order to synchronize all the critical code such as access to the model.

Library: mvtcp

The different ways (synchronous or asynchronous) to communicate with the main thread are explained below.

Member Function Documentation

InvokeLater()

static void IlsTcpLoopback::InvokeLater ( IlsRunnable &  runnable )

static

This static member function posts the invokation of the run() method of the runnable argument to the main thread and does not wait for the end of execution.

Parameters

runnable

runnable to execute

InvokeNow() [1/2]

static void IlsTcpLoopback::InvokeNow ( IlsRunnable &  runnable )

static

This static member function invokes the run() member function of the runnable argument in the main thread and waits for the end of execution.

Parameters

runnable

runnable to execute

InvokeNow() [2/2]

static IlsBoolean IlsTcpLoopback::InvokeNow ( IlsRunnable &  runnable, IlsTime  to  )

static

This static member function invokes the run() method member of the runnable argument in the main thread and waits for the end of execution with a timeout.

If the main thread executes the run() method before the end of timeout, the function returns IlsTrue. When the timeout is elapsed, the run method can no longer be called and the method returns IlsFalse. The runnable parameter is the runnable to execute. The parameter to is the timeout.

Parameters

runnable	runnable to execute
to	timeout

Returns

IlsTrue if run before timeout, IlsFalse otherwise.
