Function

Summary

Applies a function in the process associated with a pane.

Package

capi

Signature

apply-in-pane-process pane function &rest args => nil

Description

The function apply-in-pane-process applies function to args in the process that is associated with pane . This is required when function modifies pane or changes how it is displayed. If pane has not been displayed yet, then function is called immediately.

Note: All accesses (reads as well as writes) on a pane should be performed in the panes' process. Within a callback on the pane's interface this happens automatically, but apply-in-pane-process is a useful utility in other circumstances.

Example

Editor commands must be called in the correct process:

(setq editor 

      (capi:contain

       (make-instance 'capi:editor-pane

                      :text "Once upon a time...")))

(capi:apply-in-pane-process 

 editor 'capi:call-editor editor "End Of Buffer")

(capi:apply-in-pane-process 

 editor 'capi:call-editor editor "Beginning Of Buffer")
