Re: Spinning the main loop

[Sergei Steshenko <sergstesh yahoo com>]

Before writing my app I read all those GUI dogmas. And they are wrong
for me.

There are two scenarios with my app:

1) just one slider is moved and the calculations should be performed;
2) a number of sliders should be moved first an only then the calculations
should be performed.

Because of the two scenarios I have a toggle button which controls whether
the calculations start immediately upon slider movement.

In any case, during the calculations the GUI is disabled.

Regards,
  Sergei.

The event queue shouldn't be purged. It should be responded to as soon as possible by someone dedicated to
