Hi,
If I drag something in the editor it seems that GeDialog::Timer() doesn't work. Is there a way to execute GeDialog::Timer() also while I'm moving an object for example?
Thanks for any help,
qwaak

GeDialog::Timer() won't be called during user input. To make code execute while the user is moving an object you could listen for CoreMessages() or create a SceneHookData.

Hmm, the problem remains 
CoreMessage() as well as the hook plugin run only while the user is moving the mouse and Cinema4D has to refresh the viewports. But I need something that executes code at any time, whatever the user is doing (or not).
Like Cinema4D's timeline: While C4D is playing back an animation we can move objects in the viewport without stopping the animation.
It would be great if anyone can give me a tip.
Thank you,
Janos

Ok, sorry I didn't get this subtlety. A thread would do this, but please note that thread code must not modify the GUI nor the scene, so it might not be what you want. What would you do in the Timer() function?

Hi Mikael,
I would like to add joystick support for Cinema4D. My idea is that the user finally is able to control the camera with a joystick.
But the clou should be that he can control the camera also while he is working with the mouse (eg while moving points around, extruding polygons, painting with Bodypaint...).
That's advanced workflow 
Is there any chance to do this with a thread? Or are there other possibilities?
Thank you very much.
