Description of Methods
WaitMessage(timeout as Integer) as Dynamic
Waits until an event object is available or timeout milliseconds have passed. If an event is available, it is returned. If the timeout expires, invalid is returned. If timeout is zero, waits indefinitely for a message, with no timeout.
The Brightscript wait() native function can also be used to get the event object which WaitMessage() would return. That is, these two statements have the same effect:
msg = port.WaitMessage(timeout) msg = wait(timeout, port)
GetMessage() as Dynamic
If an event object is available, it is returned. Otherwise invalid is returned. The method returns immediately in either case and does not wait.
PeekMessage() as Dynamic
Similar to GetMessage() but the returned object (if not invalid) remains in the message queue. A later call to WaitMessage(), GetMessage() or PeekMessage() will return the same message.
