IMPORT_C ~CEikUndertaker();

Description

private: virtual void DoCancel();

Description

Implements cancellation of an outstanding request.

This function is called as part of the active object's CActive::Cancel().

It must call the appropriate cancel function offered by the active object's asynchronous service provider. The asynchronous service provider's cancel is expected to act immediately.

CEikUndertaker::DoCancel() must not wait for event completion; this is handled by CActive::Cancel().

See also:

• CActive::Cancel()Cancels the wait for completion of an outstanding request.

private: virtual void RunL();

Description

Handles an active object's request completion event.

A derived class must provide an implementation to handle the completed request. If appropriate, it may issue another request.

The function is called by the active scheduler when a request completion event occurs, i.e. after the active scheduler's WaitForAnyRequest() function completes.

Before calling this active object's CEikUndertaker::RunL() function, the active scheduler has:

1. decided that this is the highest priority active object with a completed request

2. marked this active object's request as complete (i.e. the request is no longer outstanding)

CEikUndertaker::RunL() runs under a trap harness in the active scheduler. If it leaves, then the active scheduler calls CActive::RunError(TInt) to handle the leave.

Note that once the active scheduler's Start() function has been called, all user code is run under one of the program's active object's CEikUndertaker::RunL() or CActive::RunError(TInt) functions.

See also:

• CActiveScheduler::Start()Starts a new wait loop under the control of the current active scheduler.
• CActiveScheduler::Error(TInt)constHandles the result of a leave occurring in an active object’s RunL() function.
• CActiveScheduler::WaitForAnyRequest()Wait for an asynchronous request to complete.
