32 NOTE ABOUT wxEventLoopBase::YieldFor LOGIC
33 ------------------------------------------
34
35 The YieldFor() function helps to avoid re-entrancy problems and problems
36 caused by out-of-order event processing
37 (see "wxYield-like problems" and "wxProgressDialog+threading BUG" wx-dev threads).
38
39 The logic behind YieldFor() is simple: it analyzes the queue of the native
40 events generated by the underlying GUI toolkit and picks out and processes
41 only those matching the given mask.
42
43 It's important to note that YieldFor() is used to selectively process the
44 events generated by the NATIVE toolkit.
45 Events syntethized by wxWidgets code or by user code are instead selectively
46 processed thanks to the logic built into wxEvtHandler::ProcessPendingEvents().
47 In fact, when wxEvtHandler::ProcessPendingEvents gets called from inside a
48 YieldFor() call, wxEventLoopBase::IsEventAllowedInsideYield is used to decide
49 if the pending events for that event handler can be processed.
50 If all the pending events associated with that event handler result as "not processable",
51 the event handler "delays" itself calling wxEventLoopBase::DelayPendingEventHandler
52 (so it's moved: m_handlersWithPendingEvents => m_handlersWithPendingDelayedEvents).
53 Last, wxEventLoopBase::ProcessPendingEvents() before exiting moves the delayed
54 event handlers back into the list of handlers with pending events
55 (m_handlersWithPendingDelayedEvents => m_handlersWithPendingEvents) so that
56 a later call to ProcessPendingEvents() (possibly outside the YieldFor() call)
57 will process all pending events as usual.
