event-driven
<programming> A kind of program, such as a graphical user interface, with
a main loop which just waits for events to occur. Each event has an associated
handler which is passed the details of the event, e.g. mouse button 3 pressed at
position (355, 990).
For example, X window system and most Visual Basic application programs are
event-driven.
See also callback.
