I've been using a little window hack for a while now that uses the
kWindowAsyncDragAttribute flag introduced in Mac OS X 10.3 to let you
drag RB-created windows without blocking timers, threads, animations,
etc. Although adding that flag is a simple declare, the built-in
Moved event and Top/Left properties need a bit of coercing to work
properly in this context so I packaged up a window subclass as an
example. I honestly don't know if this kind of Carbon event meddling
will break in a future version of RB but it seems to work for now...
If you'd like to check it out click here: <http://

The project is built with RB2006r3 but should run on any RB version
that supports Shared Methods/Properties.
I'm sure Cocoa RB will bring more asynchronous goodness but till then
this is better than nothing!
Thanks,
Frank.
