Re: AW: can I lock screen over more than one handler?

I have a suggestion, if nothing else works. Use two players, layered on top of each other. When you switch the source of a player, do it to the player on the bottom, then move it to be on top of the other player. By switching back and forth, and only reassigning the player on the bottom, it

Re: AW: can I lock screen over more than one handler?

I have found that lock screen only blocks screen updates within the main LC context. So, for example, it does not block whatever is happening in a browser. For some reason, it also sometimes seems smoother to call a function rather than a handler, but perhaps I misperceived what was happening.

Re: can I lock screen over more than one handler?

Hi Tiemo, It unlocks at the end of a handler. This can be a problem when calling another handler. I handle it by turning a called handler into a function. However, I don't think you can do it with a "send in time" handler. Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 5, 2017, at 7:45 AM, Tiemo Hollmann TB
