Ow, well sounds like I should make main my ui thread just to eliminate one more variable in the random "things weirdly broken" bughunt.

Turns out since the windows are recording the events, when I close the window it gets deleted before I can suck the unfocus and hide events out of the window... no big deal. I'm sure this is documented somewhere, but I also noticed that just putting an event handler in the window doesn't capture all events... when e.g. an entry has keyboard focus it seems the keydowns go directly to it, and Fl_Window::handle never sees them. > > Writing uncrashable c++ is my main plan.

Yeah, I had to get rid of -fno-exceptions. Tracking down this problem, BTW, was made difficult by the way fltk's Makefile hides the commands it's running. As soon as I commented out that .SILENT things were much clearer. Is there a good reason to have that, or did someone just think it would look nicer if make produced less output? _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
