FLTK has a timer function, Fl::ad_timeout and Fl::repeat_timeout that may help you, but those are not made for multithreading You could still use them to set locks, etc. . FLTK 1.1.10 and FLTK 1.3 have a function that can be called from a thread and runs a function in the GUI thread: Fl::awake() with two arguments (callback and user data) - Matthias _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
