Hi

How are you all doing your main loop? I've currently got the basics up, but have thus far only got things working on a timer as follows:

Code:

EventLoopTimerRef myTimer;

EventLoopTimerUPP timerUPP;

timerUPP = NewEventLoopTimerUPP(TimerAction);

InstallEventLoopTimer ( ::GetMainEventLoop(), 0, 1/25.0f, timerUPP, NULL, &myTimer);

Where the `TimerAction' function doing the clearing of buffers, drawing, and swap.

Obviously this is not ideal, but with my limited knowledge of Carbon I'm not sure of any other way to hook into the main event loop. Can anyone suggest the more standard way of doing things?

Thanks

Dave

That is the standard way of doing things.
