// Description: class which defines the delegates used to invoke the client event handlers

namespace MS.Internal.Automation
{
    // Temp class used to bundle focus event time along with the usual
    // focus change information. The InvokeHandler code below that dispatches
    // focus change events checks the time, and drops any events thta have
    // a timestamp that is earlier than the most recently dispatched event.
    // (This avoids race conditions from events from WinEvents and events from UIA,
    // which arrive on different threads, and which can drift during their processing,
    // since winevents get scope-checked - slow - as part of their processing before
    // being queued, whereas UIA events are just queued up. The key issue with any
    // timestamp checking is that it happens *after* the two streams of events have
    // been merged - otherwise they could just drift again. This is the case here,
    // since the InvokeHandler code is called by the callbackqueue, which services
    // both these types of events.)
    //
    // This code is "temp" - there's a work item to remove AsyncOperations, and
    // removing that should result in a cleaner solution to passing the eventTime
    // around, perhaps passing it directly to the InvokeHandlers method instead of
    // tunnelling it into a 'wrapped' AutomationFocusChangedEventArgs.
