Struct winit::event_loop::EventLoop

pub struct EventLoop<T: 'static> { /* private fields */ }

Provides a way to retrieve events from the system and from the windows that were registered to the events loop.

An EventLoop can be seen more or less as a “context”. Calling EventLoop::new initializes everything that will be required to create windows. For example on Linux creating an event loop opens a connection to the X or Wayland server.

To wake up an EventLoop from a another thread, see the EventLoopProxy docs.

Note that this cannot be shared across threads (due to platform-dependant logic forbidding it), as such it is neither Send nor Sync. If you need cross-thread access, the Window created from this can be sent to an other thread, and the EventLoopProxy allows you to wake up an EventLoop from another thread.

Implementations

impl EventLoop<()>

pub fn new() -> EventLoop<()>

Alias for EventLoopBuilder::new().build().

impl<T> EventLoop<T>

pub fn with_user_event() -> EventLoop<T>

👎Deprecated: Use EventLoopBuilder::<T>::with_user_event().build() instead.

pub fn run<F>(self, event_handler: F) -> !where
    F: 'static + FnMut(Event<'_, T>, &EventLoopWindowTarget<T>, &mut ControlFlow),

Hijacks the calling thread and initializes the winit event loop with the provided closure. Since the closure is 'static, it must be a move closure if it needs to access any data from the calling context.

See the ControlFlow docs for information on how changes to &mut ControlFlow impact the event loop’s behavior.

Any values not passed to this function will not be dropped.

Platform-specific

• X11 / Wayland: The program terminates with exit code 1 if the display server disconnects.

pub fn create_proxy(&self) -> EventLoopProxy<T>

Creates an EventLoopProxy that can be used to dispatch user events to the main event loop.

Methods from Deref<Target = EventLoopWindowTarget<T>>

pub fn available_monitors(&self) -> impl Iterator<Item = MonitorHandle>

Returns the list of all the monitors available on the system.

pub fn primary_monitor(&self) -> Option<MonitorHandle>

Returns the primary monitor of the system.

Returns None if it can’t identify any monitor as a primary one.

Platform-specific

Wayland: Always returns None.

pub fn set_device_event_filter(&self, _filter: DeviceEventFilter)

Change DeviceEvent filter mode.

Since the DeviceEvent capture can lead to high CPU usage for unfocused windows, winit will ignore them by default for unfocused windows on Linux/BSD. This method allows changing this filter at runtime to explicitly capture them again.

Platform-specific

• Wayland / macOS / iOS / Android / Web: Unsupported.
