Yeah, I spotted that, and for now the plan is to use the idle event and split my long-running operation into tiny chunks, called repeatedly by that. It's not very satisfying but I guess it will work. > Note also that the Process sample has not changed since the last > commit > from Daan. Maybe you could try compiling it? I did; it compiles, and works nicely, yes. But I don't want to launch external processes, which is what that part of the library seems to be about? > I also noticed > http://snipplr.com/view/17538/wxhaskell-multithread--custom-event-example/ I'd seen that too, but not looked too closely because it didn't appear to be so relevant. Maybe I should look more closely at evtHandlerProcessEvent and friends, then. Thanks! -Andy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
