| \title{Trigger Event Handling} |
| \description{ |
| R front ends like the Windows GUI handle key presses and mouse clicks |
| through \dQuote{events} generated by the OS. These are processed |
| automatically by R at intervals during computations, but in some cases |
| it may be desirable to trigger immediate event handling. The |
| \code{process.events} function does that. |
| } |
| \usage{ |
| process.events() |
| } |
| \details{ |
| This is a simple wrapper for the C API function |
| \code{R_ProcessEvents}. As such, it is possible that it will not |
| return if the user has signalled to interrupt the calculation. |
| } |
| \value{ |
| \code{NULL} is returned invisibly. |
