// This program:
//
// „ Contains a main event loop function, together with subsidiary functions which
// perform nominal handling only of low-level and Operating System events.
//
// „ Opens a window in which the types of all received low-level and Operating System
// events are displayed.
//
// „ Terminates when the user clicks the window's close box.
//
// Event handling is only nominal in this program because its main purpose is to
// demonstrate the basics of an application's main event loop.
//
// Programs in later chapters demonstrate the full gamut of individual event handling.
//
// The program utilises the following resources:
//
// „ A 'WIND' resource (purgeable).
//
// „ A 'SIZE' resource with the acceptSuspendResumeEvents, doesActivateOnFGSwitch, and
// is32BitCompatible flags set.

Demonstration Program Comments
When the program is run, the user should move the mouse cursor inside and outside the
window, click the mouse inside and outside the window, drag the window, press and release
keyboard keys, and insert initialised and uninitialised disks, noting the types of events
generated by these actions as printed on the scrolling display inside the window.
The user should also note the basic window deactivation and activation which occurs when
the mouse is clicked outside, and then inside the window.
The program may be terminated by a click in the window's go-away box.
The general "flow" of the program is illustrated in the flow chart at Fig 4.
#define
rWindowResource establishes a constant for the ID of the 'WIND' resource.
The remaining two lines define two common macros. The first converts the top and left
fields of a Rect to a Point. The second converts the bottom and right field of a Rect to
a Point.
Global Variables
The global variable gDone controls the termination of the main event loop and thus of the
program. gInBackground will be set to true when the application is about to move to the
background and to false when the application returns to the foreground. gCursorRegionHdl
will be assigned the handle to a region to be passed in the mouseRgn parameter of the
WaitNextEvent function.
main
The main function calls the application-defined functions for initialising the system
software managers and creating the window. It then calls the function containing the
main event loop.
doInitManagers
doInitManagers is the standard system software managers initialisation function which
will be used in all demonstration programs.
Note that the call to FlushEvents at has now been added to this function. FlushEvents
empties the Operating System event queue of any low-level events left unprocessed by
another application, for example, any mouse-down or keyboard events that the user may
have entered while this program was being launched.
doNewWindow
The function doNewWindow opens the window in which the types of low-level and Operating
System events will be printed as they occur. The 'WIND' resource passed as the first
parameter specifies that the window has a go-away box and a title (drag) bar. The
window's graphics port is set as the current port for drawing and the text size is set to
10 points.
eventLoop
eventLoop is the main event loop.
The global variable gDone is set to false before the event loop is entered. This
variable will be set to true when the user clicks on the window's go-away box. The event
loop (the while loop) terminates when gDone is set to true.
The calls to NewRgn and doAdjustCursor have to do with the generation of mouse-moved
events. The NewRgn call allocates storage for a Region structure and initializes the
contents of the region to make it an empty region. As will be seen, this first call to
doAdjustCursor defines two regions (one for the arrow cursor and one for the I-Beam
cursor) and copies the handle to one of them (depending on the current position of the
mouse cursor) to the global variable gCursorRegionHandle.
In the call to WaitNextEvent:
* The event mask everyEvent ensures that all types of low-level and Operating System
events will be returned to the application (except keyUp events, which are masked
out by the system event mask).
* eventStructure is the EventRecord structure which, when WaitNextEvent returns, will
contain information about the event.
* 180 represents the number of ticks for which the application agrees to relinquish
the processor if no events are pending for it. 180 ticks equates to about three
seconds.
* If the cursor is now not within the region passed in the cursorRegion parameter,
a mouse-moved event will be generated immediately.
WaitNextEvent returns true if an event was pending, otherwise it returns NULL. If an
event was pending, the program branches to doEvent to determine the type of event and
handle the event according to its type.
doEvents
doEvents handles some events to finality and performs initial handling of others.
On return from WaitNextEvent, the what field of the event structure contains an unsigned
short integer which indicates the type of event received. The doEvent function isolates
the type of event and switches according to that type.
In this demonstration, the action taken in every case is to print the type of event in
the window. In addition, and in the case of mouse-down, update, disk and Operating
System events only, calls to individual event handling functions are made.
Note that, in the case of an Operating System event, doEvent will only print "osEvt - "
in the window. At this stage, the program has not yet established whether the event is a
suspend, resume or mouse-moved event.
Note also that:
* The inclusion of the key-up event handling would be pointless, since key-up events
are masked out by the Operating System.
* Only one activate event will ever be received when the program is run (that is,
when the window opens), the reasons being that only one window is ever open and the
doesActivateOnFGSwitch flag in the 'SIZE' resource is set. This latter means that
activate events will not accompany suspend and resume events.
doMouseDown
The function doMouseDown handles mouse-down events to completion.
FindWindow is called to get a pointer to the window in which the event occurred and a
"part code" which indicates the part of that window in which the mouse-down occurred.
The function then switches according to that part code.
The inContent case deals with a mouse-down in a window's content region. FrontWindow
returns a pointer to the frontmost window. If this is not the same as the pointer in the
event structure's message field, SelectWindow is called to generate activate events and
to perform basic window activation and deactivation. (Actually, SelectWindow will never
be called in this demonstration because the program only opens one window, which is
always the front window.)
The inDrag case deals a mouse-down in the window's drag bar. In this case, control is
handed over to DragWindow, which tracks the mouse and drags the window according to mouse
movement until the mouse button is released. DragWindow requires a boundary rectangle
limiting the area in which the window can be dragged. This is supplied in the third
argument which, in this case, is established by the bounds field of the QuickDraw global
variable screenBits. screenBits.bounds contains a rectangle which encloses the main
screen.
The regions controlling the generation of mouse-moved events are defined in global
coordinates. The region for the I-Beam cursor is based on the window's port rectangle.
Accordingly, when the window is moved, the new location of the port rectangle, in global
coordinates, must be re-calculated so that the arrow cursor and I-Beam cursor regions may
be re-defined. The call to doAdjustCursor re-defines these regions for the new window
location and copies the handle to one of them, depending on the current location of the
mouse cursor, to the global variable gCursorRegionHandle. (Note that this call to
doAdjustCursor is also required, for the same reason, when a window is re-sized or
zoomed.)
The inGoAway case deals with the case of a mouse-down in the go-away box. In this case,
control is handed over to TrackGoAway, which tracks the mouse while the button remains
down. When the button is released, TrackGoAway returns true if the cursor is still
inside the go-away box, in which case the global variable gDone is set to true,
terminating the event loop and the program.
doUpdate
The function doUpdate handles update events to completion.
Although no window updating is performed by this program, it is nonetheless necessary to
call BeginUpdate because, amongst other things, BeginUpdate clears the update region,
thus preventing the generation of an unending stream of update events. The call to
EndUpdate always concludes a call to BeginUpdate, undoing the results of the
visible/update region manipulations of the latter.
doDisk
doDisk further processes a disk event. Many applications quite reasonably ignore
unexpected disk-inserted events; however, the function doDisk is included in this
demonstration to illustrate the basics of dealing with such occurrences.
In the case of a diskEvt event, the message field of the event structure contains the
drive number in bits 0-15 and the File Manager result code in bits 16-31. At the first
line, the high word is tested. If it indicates that the volume was not successfully
mounted, DIBadMount is called to inform the user via dialog box shown at Fig 5.
DIBadMount retains control until the disk is formatted (if the user clicks in the OK box)
or until the user clicks in the Cancel box.
The call to SetPt controls the positioning of the top left corner of the dialog box on
the screen.
doOSEvent
doOSEvent first determines whether the Operating System event passed to it is a
suspend/resume event or a mouse-moved event by examining bits 24-31 of the message field.
It then switches according to that determination.
In the case of a suspend/resume event, a further examination of the message field
establishes whether the event was a suspend event or a resume event. The global
variable gInBackground is set to true or false accordingly. In the case of a
resume event, the call to SetCursor ensures that the cursor will be set to the arrow
cursor shape when the application comes to the foreground.
In the case of a mouse-moved event (which occurs when the mouse cursor has moved outside
the region whose handle is currently being passed in WaitNextEvent's mouseRgn parameter),
doAdjustCursor is called to change the region passed in the mouseRgn parameter according
to the current location of the mouse.
drawEventString
drawEventString is incidental to the demonstration. It simply prints text in the window
indicating when the call to WaitNextEvent is made and when the various types of events
are received. ScrollRect scrolls the contents of the current graphics port within the
rectangle specified in the first parameter. The second parameter specifies the number of
pixels to be scrolled to the right and the third parameter specifies the number of pixels
to scroll vertically, in this case 15 up.
doAdjustCursor
doAdjustCursor's primary purpose in this particular demonstration is to force the
generation of mouse-moved events. The fact that it also changes the cursor shape simply
reflects the fact that changing the cursor shape is usually the sole reason for
generating mouse-moved events in the first place.
Basically, the function establishes two regions (the calls to NewRgn), one describing the
content area of the window (in global coordinates) and the other everything outside that.
The location of the cursor is then ascertained by the call to GetMouse. If the cursor is
in the content area of the window (the I-Beam region), the cursor is set to the I-Beam
shape and the handle to the I-Beam region is copied to the global variable passed in the
mouseRgn parameter in the WaitNextEvent call in the eventLoop function If the cursor is
in the other region (the arrow region), the cursor is set to the normal arrow shape and
the arrow region is copied to the global variable passed in the mouseRgn parameter.
GetCursor reads in the system 'CURS' resource specified by the constant iBeamCursor and
returns a handle to the 68-byte Cursor structure created by the call. The parameter for
a SetCursor call is required to be the address of a Cursor structure. Dereferencing the
handle once provides that address.
WaitNextEvent, of course, returns a mouse-moved event only when the cursor moves outside
the "current" region, the handle to which is passed in the mouseRgn parameter of the
WaitNextEvent call. Only one mouse-moved event, rather than a stream of mouse-moved
events, will be generated when the cursor is moved outside the "current" region because:
* The mouse-moved event will cause doAdjustCursor to be called.
* doAdjustCursor will thus reset the "current" region to the region in which the
cursor is now located.
The cursor and cursor adjustment aspects, as opposed to the region-swapping aspects, of
the doAdjustCursor function are incidental to the demonstration. These aspects are
addressed in more detail at Chapter 13 - Offscreen Graphics Worlds, Pictures, Cursors,
and Icons.
