Description

All CLIP processes require a means of controlling the process, ie. to start and stop it. This external control is usually a GUI application which creates an instance of the CLIP process. The application is exe file is linked with the CLIP Process's accretion library (see GUI Programming). The main thread of the GUI application executes a message pump which processes events from the user threads (Dialog callbacks, and CLIP events).
