Well, that will be a problem. I definately have a need to pop up modal dialog (message box) in the other thread. Do it in Windows (Win32 API) all the time with no issues. I could do the awake thing and have it do the fl_choice or fl_input, but I need to get the result and wait on it. Is there a built in method for that or am I going to have to setup my own mutexes? _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
