How can I ensure a responsive behavior in such a case? In such conditions you can use threading - provided that the library is thread safe, that is. See the "threads" demo in the test directory. In your case, you can basically spawn a new thread to perform the operation. At the end of the thread, notify FLTK using Fl::awake() and continue. Read the threading introduction in the documentation. There are some "gothas". _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
