What is an Event-Driven Application?
Event-driven applications represent a new approach to development in addition to the program-driven approach. Natural offers you both. Event-driven programming allows the application to be driven by input received through the graphical user interface. In program-driven applications, the application controls the portions of code that execute – not an event. Execution starts with the first line of executable code and follows a defined pathway through the application, calling additional programs as instructed in the predetermined sequence. In event-driven programming, the user’s action or a system event triggers the code attached to that event. Thus, the order in which your code executes depends on which events occur, which in turn depends on what the user does. This is the essence of graphical user interfaces and event-driven programming: The user is in charge, and the code responds. Even though event-driven programming is possible in character-oriented interfaces, it is more common in g
