Member Function Documentation

execute()

virtual void ml::BackgroundTaskMessage::execute ( )

pure virtual

execute message when it is delivered (reimplement in subclasses)

Implemented in ml::BackgroundTaskMethodCallMessage< Object, Method, ArgumentList >, ml::BackgroundTaskMLProcessAllPagesResultMessage, ml::BackgroundTaskMLGetTileResultMessage, ml::BackgroundTaskMLProcessAllPagesMessage, ml::BackgroundTaskMLGetTileMessage, and ml::BackgroundTaskFinishedMessage.

executeSynchronous()

virtual void ml::BackgroundTaskMessage::executeSynchronous ( )

inlinevirtual

execute message when it is delivered and the task runs synchronous, the default implementation just calls the execute() method (reimplement in subclasses).

Reimplemented in ml::BackgroundTaskMLGetTileBaseMessage.

Definition at line 61 of file mlBackgroundTaskMessage.h.

finishedProcessing()

virtual bool ml::BackgroundTaskMessage::finishedProcessing ( )

inlinevirtual

tells if the message needs further processing or if it may be deleted if true is returned, the message is placed to another processing queue and finishedProcessing() is called in regular intervals

Reimplemented in ml::BackgroundTaskMLGetTileBaseMessage.

Definition at line 66 of file mlBackgroundTaskMessage.h.

receiver()

BackgroundTaskMessageReceiver* ml::BackgroundTaskMessage::receiver ( )

inline

returns the object which receives the message (default is NULL)

Definition at line 54 of file mlBackgroundTaskMessage.h.

sender()

BackgroundTask* ml::BackgroundTaskMessage::sender ( )

inline

returns the task from which the message originates

Definition at line 48 of file mlBackgroundTaskMessage.h.

setReceiver()

void ml::BackgroundTaskMessage::setReceiver ( BackgroundTaskMessageReceiver *  receiverArg )

inline

set who receives the message (default is NULL)

Definition at line 51 of file mlBackgroundTaskMessage.h.

setSender()

void ml::BackgroundTaskMessage::setSender ( BackgroundTask *  task )

inline

set who sends the message (default is NULL and means that the message's sender is not a BackgroundTask)

Definition at line 45 of file mlBackgroundTaskMessage.h.

Referenced by ml::BackgroundTaskFinishedMessage::BackgroundTaskFinishedMessage().

taskWillBeDestroyed()

virtual void ml::BackgroundTaskMessage::taskWillBeDestroyed ( )

virtual

this needs to be implemented if the message uses finishedProcessing() and the task is finished while a message is still on it's way

Reimplemented in ml::BackgroundTaskMLGetTileBaseMessage.
