# Dispatch

> IGameInputDispatcher::Dispatch

Executes work in the dispatcher's queue.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
bool Dispatch(
    uint64_t quotaInMicroseconds
);
```

### Parameters

*quotaInMicroseconds*   \_In\_\
Type: uint64\_t

The amount of time that the dispatcher has to execute tasks. The dispatcher will attempt to keep processing time within the provided duration, but this is not a guaranteed limit.

### Return value

Type: bool

Returns true if  work items are pending in the dispatcher's queue. Returns false if no work items remain. Returns at the time that the queue is flushed.

## Remarks

The `IGameInputDispatcher::Dispatch` executes work in the dispatcher's queue. This method flushes at least one item from the queue even if the `quotaInMicroseconds` parameter is set to zero. You can call with a quota time of zero to execute a single item and then decide whether to dispatch more items depending on the time elapsed. For intermediate and advanced use-cases of the GameInput API, see [Advanced GameInput topics](https://docs.xbox.com/build/core-features/common/input/advanced/input-advanced-topics.md).
