Detailed Description

Helper sync object that sends an arbitrary message (CINOSTaskExMsg) to the specified task.

A typical use case is when executing axis functions which may take rather long and the CINOSTaskEx should not be blocked so that other task messages can be executed. In that case, the axis function should be executed asynchronously. Still, the function may need to react upon the axis function completion, e.g. to set an internal state accordingly. That's where this class is very handy: it can be passed to such an axis command and, by the time the axis command completes, it'll put an arbitrary CINOSTaskExMsg to the specified CINOSTaskEx. That CINOSTaskExMsg may then trigger another internal function which can perform the 'post processing stuff'. Here's an example:

CINOSTaskExMsg* pUsrMsg = new CINOSTaskExMsg(CINOSTaskEx::eMsgUser,
        eUsrJoyDisAxisStopped);
pUsrMsg->AddParam((uint32) apMsg);
pUsrMsg->AddParam(name);
pAxis->Stop(axis->GetJoyParam(), CINOSMcSyncMsg::Create(*this, pUsrMsg));

Objects of this type will delete themselves when CINOSMcSyncMsg::Signal is called, therefore, don't create them on the stack.

Member Function Documentation

Create()

static CINOSMcSyncMsg * CINOSMcSyncMsg::Create ( CINOSTaskEx &  aTask, CINOSTaskExMsg *  apMsg  )

static

Factory method. Objects of this type must always be created by this factory. It ensures that the objects are created on the heap, which is important because objects of this type delete themselves when Signal was called.

Parameters

apMsg

The message that'll be put into the queue of aTask upon Signal() will be called. Important: Ownership of this message object will be given to this object! The caller of this class mustn't use apMsg afterwards anymore!

Signal()

virtual void CINOSMcSyncMsg::Signal ( )

overridevirtual

Put object into the signaled state.

Reimplemented from CINOSSync.
