UpdateJobEvent Class Reference

#include <updatejobevent.h>

Detailed Description

Update Job Event class collects and combine multiple update calls into one call until executed. This is useful when adding multiple update events for the same ui element but if you only want to execute one redraw update. As soon as the update job starts all subsequent request calls will trigger a new update.

UpdateJobEvent _updateEvent;
_updateEvent.Init(
[]()
{
// update call
}, JobQueueRef::GetMainThreadQueue());
_updateEvent.RequestUpdate() iferr_return;
_updateEvent.RequestUpdate() iferr_return;
_updateEvent.RequestUpdate() iferr_return;
_updateEvent.RequestUpdate() iferr_return;
#define iferr_return
Definition: resultbase.h:1521

The update will be called only once if the main thread is blocked or too slow when calling the RequestUpdate functions.
