Yes

None that I know - the GTMX will report only gadget-down.
As I recall, the GTListView works the same way too, although I'm not sure
about that...

But wouldn't you get a GadgetUp from the string no matter what kind of other
gadget was pressed, since that would cause the string to be automatically
de-activated first?

I can think of a possible solution, but it would require a lot of
trial-and-error (and might not work) by storing all the quequed events in a
list before processing any of them, then looking to see what you have
first...

Can you post a small example of what you are doing?

Later...



I will see it when I believe it.
