The forum is locked. These are the original blitzbasic.com forums, kept so they can still be read. No new topics, replies or edits can be made here. To join in, head over to the Blitz3D+ forums.

Yeah, now we've tried doing the whole Eventy-Hooky thing, and tried using a timer for the critical stuff (GNet updating and message handling), but the timer event simply does not fire when you, f.e., keep a button pressed. Actually NO events fire during holding a button down, or having a drop down list open, for that sake.

So, is there NO way to make SOMETHING continue running no matter what?

If not, we're sc***ed, and we REALLY hope Mark will do something about this....

IF there is a solution, it would be a really good idea to include it in the documentation or otherwise make sure people are aware of it.

UPDATE: This only happens on mac... Both intel and G4, if that helps... So it's a bug in the OS X implementation?
