Maybe you can add an event filter and remove some of the events if they are happening too close to each others. But I thing doing that logic into the event handler is a betetr idea, where you can either cumulate and delay execution of the behavior.

There is some sort of input event compression available through application flags. For the rest, you could just not act on events that happen too close together (either wait a bit before acting, so to get N events, or act on the first one and ignore the subsequent ones in a short time frame). But there's just no public access to the pending event queue. HTH, -- Giuseppe D'Angelo | giuseppe.dang...@kdab.com | Senior Software Engineer KDAB (France) S.A.S., a KDAB Group company Tel.
