The problem is that under GTK is seems fairly easy to do, under Tk it seems feasible, but under Qt and under Wx I have no clue how to do this. We can always fallback to busy-waiting for these toolkits. This indeed seems to be the way to go. Maybe I would empty the event stack when the "until()" condition is met, before returning to the caller, and thus blocking again. > I'll look around some more and see if I can find the sleep until next > event function in wx. Yeah, sleep, I need more of that. Or maybe you can find wx.coffee ?
