Oh, I wasn't asking for it being expanded, although in a sense it would be
nice. I just wanted to know explicitly if that was the methodology.

One other question that I realized: okay, so you did a fast timer for Windows.
That seems to work great for polling for MIDI. I set up the Timer with a
Period=1 and it does:
while MIDIStream.Poll <> 0
// handles MIDI info
wend
So it's kind of polling over polling. But what if I set up a Thread and in the
Run event, did:
do
if Operate Then
while MIDIStream.Poll <> 0
// handles MIDI info
wend
else
Exit Do
end if
loop
And I spawned the thread by:
MIDIThread = new CMIDIThread
MIDIThread.Operate = True
MIDIThread.Run
And then when I wanted to stop the polling, just go MIDIThread.Operate = False.
Wouldn't that be as fast as a fast timer? Do I really need a fast timer?
