Hi all!

At one point, my application blocks the runloop and I have to poll for mouse events by calling [NSApplication nextEventMatchingMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:]. I'm not happy with the polling. It seems to me that creating a separate thread and configuring its runloop to process the events I'm interested in (specific mouse events for a specific window) is a more elegant solution. I couldn't find any example code doing that. I suspect that it's not possible for third-party developers to tap into the event stream coming from the window server, to create a CFRunloopSource similar to the one that feeds the main runloop.

Request for comments.
Thank you.

Regards

  Berk Özer
