Frank,
Just got off the readme of your custom class, and I'm a bit befuddled.
I've used this tag in a number of cases and have yet to experience
problems with moved/resize events in my windows. This is under 5.5.5
Is/Was something changed under 2005+, or have I just been lucky??

James,
Just out of curiosity, if you flip the windows asynchronous window
attribute to be on, does the timer still not fire until you let go
of the mouse??
This code should make window events fire (and timers and threads
within the window) continue to fire even with the mouse down. I'm
not sure if the windows execution is interrupted still a control
receives the event, but if the window receives the event (click,
drag, whatever) then I can verify that this works fine from within
RB 5.5.5 and up.
Cheers,
Tom Benson
Declare Function ChangeWindowAttributes Lib "Carbon" (window as
WindowPtr, setTheseAttributes as Integer, clearTheseAttributes as
Integer) as Integer
if b then
If GesaltLib.IsPanther() Then
call ChangeWindowAttributes(w, 8388608, 0) //asynchronous on
else
call ChangeWindowAttributes(w, 0, 8388608) //asynchronous off
end
End If
All this switch does is allow stuff to run while dragging the
window around. You can manipulate canvases and the window directly
without affecting timers even without this switch, but standard RB
controls will block in both cases. Also note that RB windows break
in a few other ways when using that attribute. I have an
AsyncDragWindow class available that avoids these problems: <http://
