I took a look at that site, and I could not easily discover where the relevant code would be. I've never used wxWindows, and I don't know how the files are organized. But perhaps I could make a useful suggestion if someone could point me to the file which contains the code for the Macintosh OS 8/9 event loop. It probably contains a call to "GetNextEvent" or "WaitNextEvent". -- Julian Vrieslander <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
