I hear you on that point! BTW: One of my customers is concidering one of these widgets for the next phase of the project. I am glad it is the next phase because I have trouble enough keeping track of one touch point! The day of the single threaded UI may be approaching its end. Ben Quote Link to comment

(so, no big deal!) but the other devloper was THERE when I was doing it. He wanted to code it like it was ladder logic. It drove me nuts when he would move the mouse while I was in the middle of a change. The best way I found to explain this situation to my wife was to get her to watch the "Personal Navigator" comercial (left, left, left!). Ben Quote Link to comment

In a multi-threaded UI, the other developer would have his own mouse and cursor which would be seperate from your own. This would allow you to truly work in parallel (and not be driven nuts, hopefully) Quote Link to comment

If I did the next thing you know, I would be telling I had to get up a three in the morning (an hour before I went to bed), ate poison for breakfast and had to lick the road clean with my tongue (paraphrase of Monty Python skit).
