Re: Detecting pending messages
Yes, it only will show you developer initiated messages. Not much use to you for your purposes. I imagine being able to intercept and view the many engine messages that are flying around would severely limit the performance of the engine. Also, I imagine simply requesting a list of pending engine messages would ITSELF generate a slew of new messages. :-) Bob On Dec 23, 2012, at 10:01 AM, Peter Haworth wrote: When in a handler for a standard LC message (specifically keyDown), is it possible to check if there are any other keyDown messages in the message queue? I see the pendingMessages property but the dictionary says it only lists messages scheduled with the Send command.

Re: Detecting pending messages
So it seems that flight recorder uses the undocumented messageHandled message. Browsing through the list, it seems that this can cause significant performance issues. I'd say it's OK to use for debugging purposes but not for normal usage. Oh well, I guess I'll have to come up with another way to do this.
