copied!<p>Here's one idea that's just fallen out of my head. I don't know how workable it is and can't see an obvious way to make it more generic, but it might be a start. All it does is provide a buffer for button click events (substitute with your event as necessary).</p> <pre><code>class ButtonClickBuffer { public event EventHandler BufferedClick; public ButtonClickBuffer(Button button, int queueSize) { this.queueSize= queueSize; button.Click += this.button_Click; } private int queueSize; private List<EventArgs> queuedEvents = new List<EventArgs>(); private void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { queuedEvents.Add(e); if (queuedEvents.Count >= queueSize) { if (this.BufferedClick!= null) { foreach (var args in this.queuedEvents) { this.BufferedClick(sender, args); } queuedEvents.Clear(); } } } } </code></pre> <p>So your subscriber, instead of subscribing as:</p> <pre><code>this.button1.Click += this.button1_Click; </code></pre> <p>Would use a buffer, specifying how many events to wait for:</p> <pre><code>ButtonClickBuffer buffer = new ButtonClickBuffer(this.button1, 5); buffer.BufferedClick += this.button1_Click; </code></pre> <p>It works in a simple test form I knocked up, but it's far from production-ready!</p> <p>You said you didn't want to wait for an event to see if there is a queue waiting, which is exactly what this does. You could substitute the logic inside the buffer to spawn a new thread which monitors the queue and dispatches events as necessary. God knows what threading and locking issues might arise from that!</p>
