void ReadlineWindow::EventHook ( bool  = false )

protectedvirtual

The event hook which is called regularly when a readline call is in progress. We use this to synchronously upadte our prompt (mainly the current cursor position) and refresh the screen, so that all changes get displayed soon.

By default, this will be called at most ten times a second if there is no keyboard input.

Reimplemented from Readline.

Reimplemented in RemoteControl< Shell >.

    int lines, cols;
    getmaxyx(fWindow, lines, cols);

    const int pos = fPromptY*cols + fPromptX + GetAbsCursor();
    wmove(fWindow, pos/cols, pos%cols);

    // Make the cursor movement visible on the screen
    wrefresh(fWindow);

    // The lines above are just a simplified version of Redisplay()
    // which skips all the output.
