TellEvent Method

This member of Class WaveLinkIO is supported on Windows Mobile, Windows CE, Palm, and DOS.

The TellEvent Method requests and returns a single event from the device without removing it from the input queue. Single events are defined as either a key stroke, a function key sequence, or a scanned barcode.

Syntax

public String TellEvent()
throws WaveLinkError

Returns

The returned input event

Throws

WaveLinkError

Remarks

TellEvent does not remove any returned input values from the input queue. This method simply checks for user input without pausing your application.

To actually remove returned input from the input queue, a subsequent call to another input method, such as GetEvent Method to return the origin of the last input type (i.e., scan, keypad, or function key input).

If the local input queue is empty, TellEvent also checks the output queue on the mobile device before returning.
