Actually, this is pretty much what I'm doing right now and what I meant by saying that I use a timer that doesn't poll for events more than 100 times a second. > Note that this introduces an average/expected delay of 0.005 secs > before handling an event after the event queue went idle ...and this is exactly what I wanted to avoid by looking for an equivalent of GetNumEventsInQueue(). But apparently, there doesn't seem to be one. That's no big deal for me, since I can live with that tiny delay which doesn't seem to be noticable anyway. I was just wondering whether Cocoa had an equivalent for GetNumEventsInQueue(). If that isn't the case, then I can live with what I have here. -- Best regards, Andreas Falkenhahn mailto:andr...@falkenhahn.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
