processEvent() [1/2]

bool processEvent ( PathIterator  moduleIter, bool  skipMasterModule  )

protectedinherited

Calls event() functions on all modules for the current event.

Parameters

moduleIter	iterator of the path containing all the modules
skipMasterModule	skip the execution of the master module, presumably because this is the first event and it's already been done in initialize()

Returns

true if execution should stop.
