As they should be. If you click next to an open popup menu, it would be quite unexpected if that starts an event other than closing the menu. If you need to attend to other actions during an open popup menu or standard dialog, you can use timeouts or idle functions. ---- http://robowerk.com/ _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
