### Class

# DexDelayed

#### Description [src]

    final class Dex.Delayed : GObject.TypeInstance
    {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`DexDelayed` is a future which will resolve or reject the value of another `DexFuture` when `dex_delayed_release()` is called.

This allows you to gate the resolution of a future which has already resolved or rejected until a later moment.
