GetMessage() As Object
Returns the event object if available. Otherwise, Invalid is returned. In either case, this method returns immediately without waiting.
WaitMessage(timeout As Integer) As Object
Waits until an event object is available or the specified amount of milliseconds have passed. When an event object becomes available, it will be returned. If the timeout is reached, Invalid will be returned. Passing zero as the timeout instructs this method to wait indefinitely for a message.
You can also use the Wait() global function to retrieve event objects over a specified interval. The following two statements have the same effect:
| Code Block |
|---|
msg = port.WaitMessage(timeout)
msg = wait(timeout, port) |
PostMessage(msg As Object) As Void
PeekMessage() As Object
Returns the event object if available (or Invalid if otherwise), but does not remove the event object from the message queue; a later call to GetMessage(), WaitMessage(), or PeekMessage() will return the same event object.
