» TaskWindow

The TaskWindow module allows programs that do not call Wimp_Poll to be pre-emptively scheduled in the RISC OS desktop.

The following terminology is used:

• ‘Child’ refers to the task created by the *TaskWindow command
• ‘Parent’ refers to the task being used to display the Child’s output

Any screen output produced by the Child is intercepted and sent in Wimp messages to the Parent.
