Public Methods
The Event class implements a feature originally found in the WIN32 API;
event notification. A target thread waits on a resetable Event, and one
or more other threads can then signal the waiting thread to resume
execution. A timeout can be used to specify a wait duration in
milliseconds. The Event class must be reset before it can be used again
as a trigger. These event objects
use a trigger/reset mechanism and are related to low level conditional
variables.
[virtual]
Once signaled, the Event class must be "reset" before responding
to a new signal.
