class CIdle : public CActive;
An active object that performs low-priority processing when no higher-priority active objects are ready to run.
An idle time active object together with its associated callback function may be used to implement potentially long running background tasks, such as spreadsheet recalculation and word processor repagination.
CBase
- Base class for all classes to be instantiated on the heap
CActive
- The core class of the active object abstraction
CIdle
- An active object that performs low-priority processing when no higher-priority active objects are ready to run

operator new()
static IMPORT_C CIdle *NewL(TInt aPriority);
Allocates and initialises an Idle time active object, adds it to the active scheduler, but leaves on failure.
|
|
IMPORT_C ~CIdle();
Frees resources prior to destruction.
Specifically, it cancels any outstanding request.
protected: IMPORT_C CIdle(TInt aPriority);
Protected constructor taking a priority value.
Sets this active object's priority value.
|
static IMPORT_C CIdle *New(TInt aPriority);
Allocates and initialises an Idle time active object and adds it to the active scheduler.
|
|
IMPORT_C void Start(TCallBack aCallBack);
Starts the background task.
The background task is encapsulated in the callback. The function represented by this callback is called every time this Idle time active object is scheduled to run.
The callback function should be structured to perform a background task in many increments, i.e. it should voluntarily relinquish control (i.e. return) after a suitable time interval to allow other, higher priority events to be handled.
If the callback function has further work to do, it should return a true value. This ensures that the active object is scheduled to run again later.
Once the callback function has finally completed its work, it should return a false value. The active object is then no longer scheduled to run.
|
protected: virtual IMPORT_C void RunL();
Handles this idle active object's request completion event.
It is called when nothing of a higher priority can be scheduled.
protected: virtual IMPORT_C void DoCancel();
Implements the cancellation of an outstanding request.
This function is called by the active object's Cancel()
function.
protected: TCallBack iCallBack;
The callback object that encapsulates the background task.
