Message polling

Understand how to handle messages with message polling.
Read time 1 minuteLast updated 20 hours ago
After you initialize the Vivox SDK, but before you sign in a user, the game must begin polling for messages. Typically, the game either polls directly in the game render loop or polls based on a timer mechanism. The recommended polling frequency is 10 times per second, where at each poll interval, 
vx_get_message()
is called until there are no more messages to process. The following code displays an example of how to poll for Vivox messages: 
#include "Vxc.h"#include "VxcErrors.h". . .// this is your timer handler or your render loopvx_message_base_t *m;for(;;){    int status = vx_get_message(&m);    if(status == VX_GET_MESSAGE_AVAILABLE)    {        MyGamesMessageHandler(m);        // Sample implementation below        vx_destroy_message(m);        // destroy the message    }    else if(status == VX_GET_MESSAGE_FAILURE)    {        // handle errors here. The only error that you might see here        // is because vx_initialize3() has not been called.    }    else if(status == VX_GET_MESSAGE_NO_MESSAGE)    {        break;    }}
