In your AppEventLoop(void) function, you can cath the nilEvent which means
your app is idling, and then poll your routine :
static void AppEventLoop(void)
{
EventType event;
do {
EvtGetEvent(&event, _MSGLOOP_DELAY); // typically,
_MSGLOOP_DELAY = 10 ...
if ( event.eType == nilEvent ) {
// do some polling here ....
}
if (! SysHandleEvent(&event))
if (! MenuHandleEvent(0, &event, &error))
if (! AppHandleEvent(&event))
FrmDispatchEvent(&event);
} while (event.eType != appStopEvent);
}
