WVR_PollEventQueue¶

WVR_EXPORT bool WVR_PollEventQueue(WVR_Event_t * event)

Function to get the next event in the event queue.

Return

True means fill the event struct with the next event in the queue; false means there are no events in the queue

Version

API Level 1

Parameters

event: A struct of the event information

The Wave SDK has 4 categories for WVR_Event

union WVR_Event

#include <wvr_events.h>

WVR_Event is an event type that is designed as a union type to provide an efficient way of using the same memory location for different event types. Developers can get the same member type to know the retrieved event belongs to which WVR_Event type, then get the specific memory region.
