Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcher

-description

Provides the Windows Runtime core event message dispatcher. Instances of this type are responsible for processing the window messages and dispatching the events to the client.

-remarks

Instances of this type can be obtained from the CoreWindow.Dispatcher property. The current CoreWindow instance can be obtained by calling CoreWindow.GetForCurrentThread.

// App.cpp
...
// An implementation of IFrameworkView::Run.
void Run()
{
    CoreWindow window{ CoreWindow::GetForCurrentThread() };
    window.Activate();

    CoreDispatcher dispatcher{ window.Dispatcher() };
    dispatcher.ProcessEvents(CoreProcessEventsOption::ProcessUntilQuit);
}

// The CoreApplication::Run call indirectly calls the App::Run function above.
int __stdcall wWinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, PWSTR, int)
{
    CoreApplication::Run(App());
}

void MyCoreWindowEvents::Run() // this is an implementation of IFrameworkView::Run() used to show context. It is called by CoreApplication::Run().
{
    CoreWindow::GetForCurrentThread()->Activate();

    //...

    CoreWindow::GetForCurrentThread()->Dispatcher->ProcessEvents(CoreProcessEventsOption::ProcessUntilQuit);
}
