thanks for this advice -- I'm going to give Spin/ReadKey a try first. It has the undesirable polling loop aspect but i think it would actually be fine for my purposes. > In general it would be better to provide a GUI for your input, > using Tk, Tkx, Win32::GUI, wxPerl etc. which would avoid the problem > altogether. > It's been a long time since I've tried any GUI programming in perl, but IIRC usually there is a point where you have to call a message loop in order to allow the UI to process messages. How would that work with with Win32::OLE's MessageLoop()? Obviously I can't have two message loops going - would the UI message loop be sufficient to deliver my COM events (in other words, I'd never have to call OLE's MessageLoop)? -Mike _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
