I've noticed that when I am running a project application inside LSC, with the debugger on, that the pulldown menus will only stay "pulled down" for so long and tend to vanish after an indeterminate period of time, as if I had lifted the mouse button. (The highlighted item is NOT selected, however.) Rich, or whoever, any ideas what's going on here? -- v v sssss|| joseph hall || 201-1D Hampton Lee Court v v s s || jnh@ece-csc.ncsu.edu (Internet) || Cary, NC 27511 v sss || the opinions expressed herein are not necessarily those of my -----------|| employer, north carolina state university . . . . . . . . . . .

My pro- gram will merrily track the mouse, and then exit its tracking loop as if it got a mouseUp. Strangely, or not so strangely, this doesn't happen if I use the lower-level OS Event Manager routines (GetOSEvent, OSEventAvail). Rick Wong Stanford University rick@jessica.stanford.edu
