How do I manage UI interaction during a long operation?
There is a fractal I want to draw, that can sometimes take a long time
to draw. I want:
1) The user to be able to cancel the draw operation.
2) Display some UI feedback, but not so much that it slows down my
drawing.
3) Disallow most other UI interactions, such as menu-calling, only
cancelling is allowed.
4) Not to slow down the draw operation because of these UI features
just mentioned!
Should I be looking into threads? I've heard that putting a high
priority process into it's own thread can speed up computation on
multiple CPU computers. As long as my thread won't slow the processing
down!
