# Queue

Class

## Superclasses

    System.Object
      Queue

## Visual Basic

    Public Class Queue
      Implements IDispatchable

## C#

    public class Queue : IDispatchable

## Purpose

Event queue.

## Remarks

Each listener is associated with a Queue object; when a message arrives, Rendezvous software places an event in the corresponding queue. Programs dispatch queues to process message events.

Destroying a queue object preempts subsequent events in that queue, and invalidates any other objects that use the queue. The method Queue.Destroy destroys a queue explicitly and immediately. You can also destroy a queue implicitly by deleting all references to it, but the garbage collector might introduce a delay before it destroys the object.

Member | Description |
## Public Static Properties
``Default`` | `Queue` Programs that need only one event queue can use this default queue (instead of creating one). The default queue has priority 1, can hold an unlimited number of events, and never discards an event (since it never exceeds an event limit). Rendezvous software places all advisories pertaining to queue overflow on the default queue. Programs cannot destroy the default queue, except as a side effect of Environment.Close. Programs cannot change the properties of the default queue. | Get
## Public Instance Properties
`Count` | `uint` The number of message events currently in the queue. | Get
`LimitPolicy` | `LimitPolicy` The queue’s strategy for resolving overflow of its event limit. | Get Set
``Name`` | ``string`` Queue names assist programmers and administrators in troubleshooting queues. When Rendezvous software delivers an advisory message pertaining to a queue, it includes the queue’s name; administrators can use queue names to identify specific queues within a program. The default name of every queue is `tibrvQueue`. We strongly recommend that you relabel each queue with a distinct and informative name, for use in debugging. Queue names must be non-null. | Get Set
``Priority`` | ``uint`` Each queue has a priority value, which controls its dispatch precedence within queue groups. Higher values dispatch before lower values; queues with equal priority values dispatch in round-robin fashion. The priority must be a non-negative integer. Priority zero signifies the last queue to dispatch. Changing the priority of a queue affects its position in all the queue groups that contain it. | Get Set

Method | Description | Page
## Life Cycle
Queue | Create an event queue. | Queue
Queue.Destroy | Shared Library Files | Queue.Destroy
## Dispatch
Queue.Dispatch | Dispatch an event; if no event is ready, block. | Queue.Dispatch

Queue.TimedDispatch | Dispatch an event, but if no event is ready to dispatch, limit the time that this call blocks while waiting for an event. | Queue.TimedDispatch
