IID:81D0B509-F198-4417-8020-08EB4271491F
Inherits From:nsISupports

This interface is implemented by the following components:

Methods

void afterProcessNextEvent ( nsIThreadInternal thread , PRUint32 recursionDepth ) void onDispatchedEvent ( nsIThreadInternal thread ) void onProcessNextEvent ( nsIThreadInternal thread , PRBool mayWait , PRUint32 recursionDepth )

void afterProcessNextEvent ( nsIThreadInternal thread , PRUint32 recursionDepth )

This method is called (from nsIThread::ProcessNextEvent) after an event is processed. This method is only called on the target thread.

Arguments:
thread: The thread that processed another event.
recursionDepth: Indicates the number of calls to ProcessNextEvent on the call stack in addition to the current call.

void onDispatchedEvent ( nsIThreadInternal thread )

This method is called after an event has been dispatched to the thread. This method may be called from any thread.

Arguments:
thread: The thread where the event is being dispatched.

void onProcessNextEvent ( nsIThreadInternal thread , PRBool mayWait , PRUint32 recursionDepth )

This method is called (from nsIThread::ProcessNextEvent) before an event is processed. This method is only called on the target thread.

Arguments:
thread: The thread being asked to process another event.
mayWait: Indicates whether or not the method is allowed to block the calling thread. For example, this parameter is false during thread shutdown.
recursionDepth: Indicates the number of calls to ProcessNextEvent on the call stack in addition to the current call.
