298 However, when called from a different thread there is usually no
299 NSAutoreleasePool in place because wxThread has no knowledge of
300 wxCocoa. The pool here is generally only ever going to contain
301 the NSEvent we create with the factory method. As soon as we add
302 it to the main event queue with postEvent:atStart: it is retained
303 and so safe for our pool to release.

318 done without exiting the runloop.

340 Invoked from the applicationWillUpdate notification observer. See the
341 NSApplication documentation for the official statement on when this
342 will be called. Since it can be hard to understand for a Cocoa newbie
343 I'll try to explain it here as it relates to wxCocoa.
345 Basically, we get called from within nextEventMatchingMask if and only
346 if any user code told the application to send the update notification
347 (sort of like a request for idle events). However, unlike wx idle events,
348 this notification is sent quite often, nearly every time through the loop
349 because nearly every control tells the application to send it.
351 Because wx idle events are only supposed to be sent when the event loop
352 is about to block we instead schedule a function to be called just
353 before the run loop waits and send the idle events from there.
355 It also has the desirable effect of only sending the wx idle events when
356 the event loop is actually going to block. If the event loop is being
357 pumped manualy (e.g. like a PeekMessage) then the kCFRunLoopBeforeWaiting
358 observer never fires. Our Yield() method depends on this because sending
359 idle events from within Yield would be bad.
361 Normally you might think that we could just set the observer up once and
362 leave it attached. However, this is problematic because our run loop
363 observer calls user code (the idle handlers) which can actually display
364 modal dialogs. Displaying a modal dialog causes reentry of the event
365 loop, usually in a different run loop mode than the main loop (e.g. in
366 modal-dialog mode instead of default mode). Because we only register the
367 observer with the run loop mode at the time of this call, it won't be
368 called from a modal loop.
370 We want it to be called and thus we need a new observer.

429 Called by CFRunLoop just before waiting. This is the appropriate time to
430 send idle events. Unlike other ports, we don't peek the queue for events
431 and stop idling if there is one. Instead, if the user requests more idle
432 events we tell Cocoa to send us an applicationWillUpdate notification
433 which will cause our observer of that notification to tell CFRunLoop to
434 call us before waiting which will cause us to be fired again but only
435 after exhausting the event queue.
437 The reason we do it this way is that peeking for an event causes CFRunLoop
438 to reenter and fire off its timers, observers, and sources which we're
439 better off avoiding. Doing it this way, we basically let CFRunLoop do the
440 work of peeking for the next event which is much nicer.

464 /* A note about Cocoa's event loops vs. run loops:
466 It's important to understand that Cocoa has a two-level event loop. The
467 outer level is run by NSApplication and can only ever happen on the main
468 thread. The nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue: method returns
469 the next event which is then given to sendEvent: to send it. These
470 methods are defined in NSApplication and are thus part of AppKit.
472 Events (NSEvent) are only sent due to actual user actions like clicking
473 the mouse or moving the mouse or pressing a key and so on. There are no
474 paint events; there are no timer events; there are no socket events; there
477 All of those types of "events" have nothing to do with the GUI at all.
478 That is why Cocoa's AppKit doesn't implement them. Instead, they are
479 implemented in Foundation's NSRunLoop which on OS X uses CFRunLoop
480 to do the actual work.
482 How NSApplication uses NSRunLoop is rather interesting. Basically, it
483 interacts with NSRunLoop only from within the nextEventMatchingMask
484 method. It passes its inMode: argument almost directly to NSRunLoop
485 and thus CFRunLoop. The run loop then runs (e.g. loops) until it
486 is told to exit. The run loop calls the callout functions directly.
487 From within those callout functions the run loop is considered to
488 be running. Presumably, the AppKit installs a run loop source to
489 receive messages from the window server over the mach port (like a
490 socket). For some messages (e.g. need to paint) the AppKit will
491 call application code like drawRect: without exiting the run loop.
492 For other messages (ones that can be encapsulated in an NSEvent)
493 the AppKit tells the run loop to exit which returns control to
494 the nextEventMatchingMask method which then returns the NSEvent
495 object. It's important to note that once the runloop has exited
496 it is no longer considered running and thus if you ask it which
497 mode it is running in it will return nil.
499 When manually pumping the event loop care should be taken to
500 tell it to run in the correct mode. For instance, if you are
501 using it to run a modal dialog then you want to run it in
502 the modal panel run loop mode. AppKit presumably has sources
503 or timers or observers that specifically don't listen on this
504 mode. Another interesting mode is the connection reply mode.
505 This allows Cocoa to wait for a response from a distributed
506 objects message without firing off user code that may result
507 in a DO call being made thus recursing. So basically, the
508 mode is a way for Cocoa to attempt to avoid run loop recursion
509 but to allow it under certain circumstances.
