Navigation:  Glossary Index >====== message queue ============ The “place” in which Windows holds all messages for an application, which the application checks on a regular basis. The messages consist of everything the application needs to know regarding the user interface–keyboard, mouse and menu events; the system–shutdown messages, and all the other operations which may affect the application. Clarion processes the entire messaging process transparently in the ACCEPT loop. ====== Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page
