Performs idle event processing.

void IdleControls (
    WindowRef inWindow
);

inWindow

A pointer to a window containing controls that support idle events.

DISCUSSION

Your application should call the IdleControls function to give idle time to any controls that want the kControlMsgIdle message. IdleControls calls the control with an idle event so the control can do idle-time processing. You should call IdleControls at least once in your event loop. See ControlDefProcPtr for more details on how a control definition function should handle idle processing.

VERSION NOTES

This function is available with Appearance Manager 1.0 and later.

AVAILABILITY

Supported in Carbon. Available in Mac OS 8.1 and later when Carbon 1.0.2 or later is present.
