Detailed Description

Representation of a presence identity that uses a background thread to process commands.

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef std::queue<OpalPresentityCommand *> OpalPresentityWithCommandThread::CommandQueue [protected]

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OpalPresentityWithCommandThread::OpalPresentityWithCommandThread ( ) [protected]

Construct the presentity class that uses a command thread.

OpalPresentityWithCommandThread::~OpalPresentityWithCommandThread ( )

Destory the presentity class that uses a command thread. Note this will block until the background thread has stopped.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool OpalPresentityWithCommandThread::SendCommand ( OpalPresentityCommand * cmd ) [virtual]

Lowlevel function to send a command to the presentity handler. All commands are asynchronous. They will usually initiate an action for which an indication (callback) will give a result.

The default implementation queues the command for the background thread to handle.

Returns true if the command was queued. Note that this does not mean the command succeeded, only that the underlying protocol is processing commands, that is the backgrund thread is running

Parameters:

cmd

Command to execute

Reimplemented from OpalPresentity.

void OpalPresentityWithCommandThread::StartQueue ( bool startQueue = true )

Start/resume processing of queue commands

void OpalPresentityWithCommandThread::StartThread ( bool startQueue = true )

Start the background thread to handle commands. This is typically called from the concrete classes Open() function.

If the argument is true (the default) then the thread starts processing queue entries ASAP.

If the argument is false, the thread is still created and still runs, but it does not process queue entries. This allows for presenties that may need to allow commands to be paused, for example during initialisation

void OpalPresentityWithCommandThread::StopThread ( )

Stop the background thread to handle commands. This is typically called from the concrete classes Close() function. It is also called fro the destructor to be sure the thread has stopped before the object is destroyed.
