Holding rightmousebutton down
Posted: Sun May 20, 2007 5:36 pm
I hope this is not a stupid question.
(forgive me if it is)
When holding down the rightmousebutton while pointing at the
titlebar of any program, (also IExplorer when loading a website
for example), will freeze the thing the program is doing at that
moment. When releasing the button again, the process continues
where it stopped.
When you use a (native) thread this does not happen.
My question is:
What is the cause of this? Does anybody know?
Netmaestro already helped me out by advising me another API
(http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... highlight=)
but I am still wondering what the cause is. (thanks Netmaestro!)
Microsoft bug? Or API intentional?
Funny, I must have clicked on window-titlebars millions of times
but never noticed it...
