public static void RaiseIdle(
    EventArgs e
)

Visual C++

[SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, Flags = SecurityPermissionFlag::UnmanagedCode)]
public:
static void RaiseIdle(
    EventArgs^ e
)

[<SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Flags = SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode)>]
static member RaiseIdle : 
        e:EventArgs -> unit

Parameters

e: Type: System..::.EventArgs
The EventArgs objects to pass to the Idle event.

Remarks

This method is used when hosting Windows Forms in another environment, such as an unmanaged application. You should call RaiseIdle when the hosting application enters an idle state. This enables some Windows Forms controls and components to do important background work while the user is not interacting with the application.
