Hey man,

Thanks. This works under Mavericks too. One thing: there’s a typo in your command line instructions, you have “ell oh one” typed up there in the file names instead of “one oh one”, and for other newbies like me, be sure to enter that on the command line as one line, no carriage return, so it goes as one command!

I really thank you very much for your simple example which works on MacBook Mountain Lion like the demo you gave.

@Wan: yep I’m developing for Linux (and Mac 🙁 ) and GeeXLab is planned but later. Currently I work on smaller projects…

while (true) {
while (XPending(dpy)) {
XNextEvent(dpy, &e);
// process event here…
}
DrawAndUpdate();
}

So how is the linux version of GeeXLab going? Come on, we know from the past blog posts that you are developping something for another platform than Windows, so what is it?

XNextEvent is blocking like GetMessage (see here).

Hey JeGX thanks for the sample!
Quick question: the XNextEvent function behaves like the WinAPI function GetMessage and suspends the current thread while there’s no new events or it behaves like the PeekMessage?
