Ian, Good precision ... I'm working with fltk since one year and some features am not yet widely known. I have a lot of couple "lock/unlock" to remove of my "timeout" functions. I understand better why a solution that i have test for my previous problem, a timeout which call an other timeout, it's not good, the 1st wait until the end of the second (and the GUI wait also) if I understood.
I have not lost my day, thanks to your advice.
