It could very well be a 2005+ thing, or possibly specific versions of
Mac OS X, but there are definitely problems on my machine. The moved
event simply fires too much (e.g. if you pause during the drag), the
left/top properties don't update immediately after the move, and non-
composite metal windows just plain don't drag properly. There may be
other problems I haven't run into yet, but those are the issues I
specifically worked around with that class.

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,

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:
