Create |
Syntax:
object.Create([manual [, initstate [, name]]])
Initializes the object. Must be called before usage.
manual - Boolean, default is False. If True the Event will not
reset automatically after successful wait/IsSet operation.
initstate - Boolean indicating the initial state of the Event.
Default is False
name - name of the Event,
default is unnamed (empty string does the same). |
|
Reset |
Syntax:
object.Reset
Resets the Event object. Especially needed if the object is
configured for manual reset.
|
|
Pulse |
Syntax:
object.Pulse
Sets the event for an instant so a waiting thread can proceed.
Can be useful for manual reset events. |
|
Set |
Syntax:
object.Set
Sets the Event. A waiting operation will succeed after that.
|
|
Wait |
Syntax:
b = object.Wait([timeout])
Waits the specified time for the event to become set.
Returns: True if the wait operation is successful and False if
the Timeout has been exceeded.
timeout - (long) milliseconds to wait. Default is infinite
(-1). |
|
CheckAndReset |
Syntax:
b = object.CheckAndReset
Like Wait but this will just check the event state, return it
as Boolean result and reset the event no matter what is its mode
(manual or automatic). |
 |
Valid |
Syntax:
b = object.Valid
Checks if the object is valid - initialized. If the Create
method has not been called yet it will return False, otherwise
True will be returned. Rarely needed but in applications with code
spread through many files (such as ASP applications) it may be
useful to resolve some application design problems. |
|
IsSet |
Syntax:
b = object.IsSet
Like Wait but waits 0 milliseconds and returns the state of the
Event object (Boolean). Especially useful for manual reset events. |
