Release memory and threads used by the Phidget library. Should be called prior to unloading the library from the address space.

This function is intended for use in special cases where it is desired for the Phidget library to be unloaded before a program's termination. All other API calls are unsafe after calling this.

flags: Reserved for future use. Pass 0.

Please do not call if you have Xojo Phidget objects around. Check InstanceCount please.

PhidgetMBS.Poll

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
shared method Phidgets MBS Phidgets Plugin 22.1 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ❌ No Desktop, Console & Web
Checks for pending events to dispatch.

Our plugin dispatches events in two ways. If the event is raised on main thread, it will be raised directly. But if it arrives on other threads, it's queued and then dispatched via a timer on the main thread when there is idle time.
This poll method allows you to dispatch queued events now.

PhidgetMBS.resetLibrary

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
shared method Phidgets MBS Phidgets Plugin 22.1 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ❌ No Desktop, Console & Web
Closes all channels, and stops all threads.

The library is reset to a newly loaded state. All channel handles have been freed.
This function is intended for use in special cases where the library cannot be unloaded between program runs, such as LabVIEW and Unity Editor.
