No events occur during scrolling

[Jeff88]

I wrote a pragram and that uses a scroll bar gadget and I wanted to signal when the value it returns changes while scrolling. So I "binded" the scoll bar and had it post an event when its value changed. Fail. Investigating I discovered that while scolling with mouse button depressed no events would occur. Here is a snippet of test code. Normally debug prints "timer" twice a second as expected. But when scolling nothing. When I release the mouse button a whole bunch of "timer" are printed by debug. I infer that the events are posted to the event queue but not being acknowledged by the WaitWindowEvent command until the mouse button is released.

Anyone care to comment.

Code: Select all

AddWindowTimer(0,6,500)         ;many lines of code above this line
  
  Repeat                                ;Main Loop 
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()           ;After plotting wait for window events
    If Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
      End
    EndIf
    If event=#PB_Event_Timer
      Debug "timer"
    EndIf
