I have no idea how any other toolkits do idle events. As a result, I've found that I never use EVT_IDLE with wx -- it just isn't useful, you get a whole bunch of them when someone is doing something like moving the mouse slowly, and none when the user is doing nothing. What I have done is use a wx.Timer instead -- if you want something to happen when the user isn't doing anything, you can start a timer, and have it fire whenever you want. You can also have the timer started by an IDLE event, and have each subsequent IDLE event I don't know if MPL has a Timer that wraps the GUI toolkit timers, but that may be a good idea. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
