Description

window.pumpmessages is a vital function for the window implementation. When a window is created, it begins listening for events. Messages are delivered to the window, but are put in a queue. window.pumpmessages will take the next message on the queue, and call the appropriate event handler.

If no messages are in the queue, then window.pumpmessages will sit and wait for a message to be generated. Once a message is generated, it will call the appropriate event handler.

window.pumpmessages will always convert exactly one message into an event. If no messages exist, then it will wait for a message to be generated. If you want to perform extra processing instead of waiting around for a message, then use window.hasmessages to detect whether any messages exist, and only call window.pumpmessages if there are messages already in the queue.
