Event Differences

From REALbasicWiki

While RB presents a consistent event model, underlying differences among operating systems means that in practice, events can occur at different times or with varying frequency. This page is an attempt to document these differences.

[edit] Application events

On Windows, NewDocument and OpenDocument only fire during the application startup process. On OS X, these two events reflect an underlying AppleEvent model and may be called at any time.

[edit] Window events

When dragging a window, OS X waits until the drag is complete, and then fires a single Moved event. In contrast, Windows will continually fire Moved events throughout the drag.
