FT_IAMIDLE()
Inform the operating system that the application is idle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
FT_IAmIdle() -> lSuccess
Arguments
None
Returns
.T. if supported, .F. otherwise.
Description
Some multitasking operating environments (e.g. Windows or OS/2) can
function more efficiently when applications release the CPU during
idle states. This function allows you "announce" to the operating
system that your application is idle.
Note that if you use this function in conjunction with FT_OnIdle(),
you can cause Clipper to automatically release the CPU whenever
Clipper itself detects an idle state.
Examples
while inkey() != K_ESC
FT_IAmIdle() // Wait for ESC and announce idleness
end
* Here's another way to do it:
FT_OnIdle( {|| FT_IAmIdle()} )
Inkey( 0 ) // Automatically reports idleness until key
// is pressed!
