Hi,

is there a way to send the Idle event? I have a modeless form which
updates some of its buttons when on idle. This form is part of C# COM
object. When calling it out of C# everything works fine, but when it's
called by a vb6 app it never gets the idle event.
I set up a timer to send a message (PostMessage from user32.dll) to the
form which works, but I didn't find a way to send OnIdle. (Well, who
would ever like to send an idle event?)

thanks
