A method and apparatus for event handling in a computer environment is disclosed. The present invention provides applications programs with a mechanism for establishing a template, called an event qualifier network, which monitors the occurrence of an event or specific combination of events, along with virtually any other qualifying condition specified by the application. In response to the occurrence of such events and conditions, the event qualifier network notifies the application that its "desired event" has occurred, whereupon the application may then take the appropriate action. The event qualifier networks of the present invention can be quickly and simply built to monitor arbitrarily complex combinations of events and events in combination with other conditions. |
