yes, this is exactly what i need. thanks alot!
is there a way peek the Fltk event queue ? so that i could check if there are
any new events, and , if so, call reset_timeout ? i am aware about writing
one's own virtual handle function, but how to access the global event struct?
after a quick look at the docs i did not found something about peeking into the
event queue...
