RE: [Freeglut-developer] Menus and Current Window

[Fay J. F C. AAC/W. <joh...@eg...>]

Well, I did a test here and found that GLUT does not call the idle callback
when a menu is active.  If you run the GLUT Atlantis demo, you find that if
you open the menu the animation stops completely.  Under "freeglut," if you
continue to call the idle callback with an active menu the whales will
continue to wiggle but not move.  If there is another way to make "freeglut"
behave like GLUT in this regard besides disabling the idle callback, I am
open to hear it, but I have not heard of any.

Just done a test here and classic glut continues to call the idle callback
when a menu is active.
