What you do is register your callback and enable it right away in a non-critical section, then have your callback check a flag. If the flag is false, just return. Then all your asychronous code has to do is set the flag when you want the callback to do its stuff. Granted there's a slight performance hit involved, but I can't think of a faster way to do this. - D <dmlloyd@tds.net>Thread Previous | Thread Next
