<h1>Sharing the CPU under Win32</h1>

<h4>Discussion</h4>

|
<p>Under Win32, to be polite, we are encouraged to share the processor time with other applications. To do this, we have to process messages while we're waiting for each frame. Bink handles timing with the <a href="BinkWait.html">BinkWait</a> function, so we just need to check this function whenever we're not processing a message. So, we'll simply monitor the <a href="BinkWait.html">BinkWait</a> function in our message loop - when <a href="BinkWait.html">BinkWait</a> tells us that it's time for the next frame, we'll just call the code to advance a frame. A simple example of Windows playback would look something like this: </p><code><font size=3 color=#006000><pre>for ( ; ; ){ <i>// check for a Windows message</i> if ( PeekMessage( &msg, 0, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE ) ) { if ( msg.message == WM_QUIT ) break;<br> TranslateMessage( &msg ); DispatchMessage( &msg ); } else { <i>// no Windows message, so check on our playback</i> if ( !BinkWait( bink ) ) { <i>// go process the next Bink frame</i> Show_next_frame( bink, bink_buf ); } }}</pre></font></code><p></p>
