deferred event
A deferred
Event is an event that is not sent immediately, but at the beginning of the next event loop.
For example, this code:
...
PUBLIC SUB MyTextBox_GotFocus()
PRINT "GotFocus"
END
PUBLIC SUB MyButton_Click()
MyTextBox.SetFocus
PRINT "Click"
END
...
prints the following when you click on the button
MyButton:
The
MyTextBox_GotFocus event handler is raised after the
MyButton_Click has finished, when the next event loop begins.
