Struct winit::event_loop::EventLoopProxy

pub struct EventLoopProxy<T: 'static> { /* private fields */ }

Used to send custom events to EventLoop.

Implementations

impl<T: 'static> EventLoopProxy<T>

pub fn send_event(&self, event: T) -> Result<(), EventLoopClosed<T>>

Send an event to the EventLoop from which this proxy was created. This emits a UserEvent(event) event in the event loop, where event is the value passed to this function.

Returns an Err if the associated EventLoop no longer exists.

    // Wire the user event from another thread.
    #[cfg(not(web_platform))]
    std::thread::spawn(move || {
        // Wake up the `event_loop` once every second and dispatch a custom event
        // from a different thread.

            let _ = _event_loop_proxy.send_event(UserEvent::WakeUp);
