If the runloop is running on Thread 0, can a thread that is not thread
0 pull events off the runloop by using
NSApplication.sharedApplication(). nextEventMatchingMask() ?&nbsp; Where events are the keyboard and mouse events.<br>
<br>
How does one &#39;park&#39; thread 0?<br><br>Michael<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 11:21 AM, Mike Swingler <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:swingler@apple.com">swingler@apple.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

Only the runloop on Thread 0&nbsp;receives&nbsp;keyboard and mouse events, which is why -XstartOnFirstThread is necessary when user-space code wants to pump the event loop. Otherwise, Thread 0 needs to be parked until it&#39;s time for the AWT to startup, and start running the show.</div>
