    RTLEventCreate

    Create a new RTL event.

    Declaration

    Source position: threadh.inc line 193

    function RTLEventCreate : PRTLEvent;

    Description

    RTLEventCreate creates and initializes a new RTL event. RTL events are used to notify other threads that a certain condition is met, and to notify other threads of condition changes (conditional variables).

    The function returns an initialized RTL event, which must be disposed of with RTLEventdestroy

    The created event is auto-reset, and RTLEventSetEvent releases only one waiting thread (or the next one to wait). If you want to use broadcast, the BasicEvent or TEvent is the way to go.

    RTLEvent is used mainly for the synchronize method.
