i think it would be a good idea to add an OnIdle event to win32lib, for use
in 3d and high frame rate stuff.
adding 3 line to the existing librairy to accomidate
these two lines at the top somewhere
line 1---------->global atom ONIDLE
line 2------------>ONIDLE=-1
while Flag!=0
and ActiveEL[el]=0
and vWinMainState=kStarted
do
getRC=w32Func(xGetMessage,{msg,hWnd,0,0})
if getRC=0
or getRC=-1
then
exit
end if
w32Proc(xTranslateMessage,{msg})
w32Proc(xDispatchMessage,{msg})
Flag-=inc
this line in the translate dispatch loop-------------> if ONIDLE !=-1 then
call_proc(ONIDLE) end if
end while

Not a bad suggestion, however it would have to be done such that it didn't
take up too much CPU cycles when not set. Actually what would be an easy
enhancement for Euphoria would if a call_proc(-1) and call_func(-1) were to
be quietly treated as a NOP. This would not break existing code and speed up
a lot of win32lib processing (hint, hint, Robert).
I'll give it some serious thought.
