On The Event Of ...

[2-Bit Chip]

I can not think up any ways to make event handler.

• I don't want to burn out out the computer
• Speed is necessary

What ideas could make an event handler? A gigantic loop? A driver for the system (.sys)?

[BlackVortex]

What kinds of event do you want to monitor ? I like windows callback system with SetWindowsHookEx ... is that any help to you ?

[2-Bit Chip]

It would be custom event handlers.

For an IRC protocol wrapper, it would need to run independent of the program (threaded) to grab what is being said at real-time. It would need to have

invoke irc_sethandler, OFFSET on_private_msg, IRC_EVENT_PRIVMSG
or

Code Select Expand

invoke irc_sethandler, OFFSET on_all_events, IRC_EVENT_ALL



I really hope you can understand this clutter. :red

2 bit,

How regularly do you need to poll the event you want to monitor ?

It would be easy enough to set up a timer every 100ms or perhaps longer interval so the app that watches does not use much processor time.

[BogdanOntanu]

Thou shall not make a gigantic loop unless you are a 8bit bit real time microcontroller.

Thou shall create a set of sincronization objects for each event.
Thou shall WaitForMultipleObjects or single objects to be signaled by the OS when a desired event occurs.

Thou may use callbacks for the same purpose (if available).
