I remember that it was discussed a long time ago to make "do_callback()" virtual. I also could see a new event "FL_ACTION" for example, that can catch all callbacks before they happen, so overriding handle() would achieve just that. The first solution would be faster, the second one would be slightly easier on the run-time memory requirements. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
