[MACTCL] tk/OS X event handling?

[Joe L. <jfl...@dg...>]

Is there a way to get Tk on Mac OS X to handle only its own events
and leave other events to whoever else might handle them?

I'm poking at trying to port an app. to OS X that has both Tcl/Tk and
GLUT event loops working together and I'd like to have it so Tk
handle's only Tk/Wish windows, events, etc. and GLUT handles only
events related to the GLUT window(s) but they seem to steal each
other's events even though the associated windows etc. are entirely
unrelated.  I'm pretty sure both event loops are getting called
sufficiently and this works fine without collisions on Windows and
Linux.


Is it possible to to write libraries/frameworks on MacOS X such
that they "play nicely" and handle only their own events without
interfering with other libraries' UI that might have their own
windows etc?
