- BDB}You forget something: AND when that calculating process gets events!
- BDB}Else the Idle method will NOT be called and thus not updated. For
- such
- BDB}special processes which calculate for many minutes and for which it

- BDB}desirable to not blank the screen and which check for events you

- BDB}easily implement an event which turns screen blanking on or off.

- BDB}? I don't understand this idea. Nor do I see its usefulness.

- 'must say I agree with BDB : your so-long computation should call, from
- time
- to time, the adequate method to reset the idle time.
- By the way, what do you mean by "REAL IDLE TIME" ? I'm afraid a computer
- is
- never idle as long as the power is on ! :-)) Maybe you should check the
- time it started to wait for a keyboard input...
