Perhaps what you need is a new GUI-Mode. The idea behond the GUI-modes is that all the ouse events are handled there, any any non-standard mode should be customized there. But we may want to have the base mode pass the mouse wheel events on by default. However, I'm not sure what this has to do with tiles -- I"d expect that the tile loading loading and caching would happen when the _draw() is called, and the zoom level set that the time would be used. Tough maybe the GUI-mode question isn't tile specific. Sorry, not time to check out your code right now. By the way -- I'm working on a new project specifically for maps, using OpenGL for the rendering -- would you be interested in that? -Chris > The project's files are in the git repository of > http://laptimer.sourceforge.net/ , in the branch awesomeSauce.
