Well exactly :-) that was in v7.5. I'm on v8.1 now. I knew I'd taken the 
issue up before, but at my age memory ain't what it used to be.

I would still a shortcoming, in that it diverges from the MFC. Many of 
us use WTL because it does what MFC does, but much better. You come to 
rely on like for like at the functional level. I would suggest that 
something like:

     // override to change idle processing
     virtual BOOL OnIdle(int /* nIdleCount */)
     {   BOOL   bIdle = false;
         for(int i = 0; i < m_aIdleHandler.GetSize(); i++)
         {
             CIdleHandler* pIdleHandler = m_aIdleHandler[i];
             if (pIdleHandler != NULL)
             bIdle |= pIdleHandler->OnIdle() != 0;
         }
         return(bIdle);   // don't continue
     }
  Would provide a better solution from the point of compatability, even 
better if I've had the time to implement 'nIdleCount'.

Unfortunately bjarke's suggestion 4 years ago, of a worker thread, isn't 
open to us, for historical reason.
