SchedulerCallback (deadline, *user_data)

Details

GtkSource.SchedulerCallback(deadline, *user_data)
Parameters:

  • deadline (int) – the time the callback should complete by

  • user_data (object or None) – closure data provided when registering callback

Returns:

True if there is more work to process, otherwise False and the handler is unregistered.

Return type:

This function is called incrementally to process additional background work. A deadline is provided which can be checked using [func`GLib`.get_monotonic_time] so that additional work can be processed each frame.

This is useful for situations where you are incrementally performing background work such as spell checking or semantic syntax highlighting.
