Detailed Description

The base class for objects that can be sent to a MessageListener.

If you want to send a message that carries some kind of custom data, just create a subclass of Message with some appropriate member variables to hold your data.

Always create a new instance of a Message object on the heap, as it will be deleted automatically after the message has been delivered.

Member Typedef Documentation

Ptr

using juce::Message::Ptr = ReferenceCountedObjectPtr<Message>

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Message()

juce::Message::Message ( )

noexcept

Creates an uninitialised message.

~Message()

juce::Message::~Message ( )

override

Member Function Documentation

decReferenceCount()

void juce::ReferenceCountedObject::decReferenceCount ( )

inlinenoexceptinherited

Decreases the object's reference count.

If the count gets to zero, the object will be deleted.

References jassert.

decReferenceCountWithoutDeleting()

bool juce::ReferenceCountedObject::decReferenceCountWithoutDeleting ( )

inlinenoexceptinherited

Decreases the object's reference count.

If the count gets to zero, the object will not be deleted, but this method will return true, allowing the caller to take care of deletion.

References jassert.

getReferenceCount()

int juce::ReferenceCountedObject::getReferenceCount ( ) const

inlinenoexceptinherited

Returns the object's current reference count.

incReferenceCount()

void juce::ReferenceCountedObject::incReferenceCount ( )

inlinenoexceptinherited

Increments the object's reference count.

This is done automatically by the smart pointer, but is public just in case it's needed for nefarious purposes.

messageCallback()

void juce::Message::messageCallback ( )

overrideprivatevirtual

Implements juce::MessageManager::MessageBase.

post()

bool juce::MessageManager::MessageBase::post ( )

inherited

resetReferenceCount()

void juce::ReferenceCountedObject::resetReferenceCount ( )

inlineprotectednoexceptinherited

Resets the reference count to zero without deleting the object.

You should probably never need to use this!
