Access to events in tight loop?


  • Subject: Access to events in tight loop?
  • From: Scott Squires <email@hidden>

If I handle a mouse event and am processing it in a time consuming method which includes display, what's the cleanest way to peek at events
during this time (to get updated mouse info,etc ) or to allow the run loop to continue enough to make another pass?
Is there a clean way to allow the main thread to update?


I know I could create another thread for the routine but with issues of events, drawing and handling mutable arrays I thought I'd see if there was a simpler method I was overlooking.
Thanks.
