A little late perhaps, I didn't follow the start of the thread. What
exactly is the problem with just bluntly adding a yield_timeslice in
the menu procedure? If I understood correctly, a simple dialog can
already include a d_yield_proc and that works. So the problem is
apparently that while a menu is _active_, all CPU is eaten and you
can't influence this yourself.
I can't for the life of me imagine a case where, while navigating a
menu with the mouse, one would object against a yield_timeslice or
even a usleep(1000) in the menu code to reduce the CPU usage.
Did I misunderstand the problem?
