need event of some type to update

[littleblack111]

i have a socket server
server's mouse don't move, client connect
server UI(log) won't update until mouse or keyboard events(or any events)

temp solution: screen.postevent(Event::Custom)

Yes, that work. Alternatively, you could use:

ScreenInteractive::Active()->RequestAnimationFrame();

This is almost equivalent, but avoid running the OnEvent() on the component. It also squash the request together if they are emitted very frequently.

Note that if you want to yield while running the FTXUI loop, you can use a custom loop:

  Loop loop(&screen, component);
  while (!loop.HasQuitted()) {
    //...Do something like pooling the server.
 
    // ... Handle the events from the user and refresh the terminal view.
    loop.RunOnce();

    // Don't waste too much CPU.
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(10));
  }

See Example Demo

Please let me know if that answer you question.

Cool, thanks for sharing the alternative way, however I'm still confused on why is this necessary at the first place
