Not that I think my knowledge is enough to warrant high observance, but I back this up. I said this earlier too. I'm recently learning C (on TCC compiler, using API), and learned that wxLua (at least, wxWidgets is so both) is very like C being based in it. Modeless dialogs will sit and wait while the rest of program hangs on every word otherwise uttered by the event loop. I used to hate this concept, being taught on linear sequences that always had to halt while waiting for input, but now I really like this event loop thing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ wxlua-users mailing list wxlua-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wxlua-users
