Registry entry for application data

Moon wizard, is there any way to achieve my desired effect which is to asynchronously loop to keep the UI responsive while waiting for something?

Not without really kludgy option like forcing a list to constantly re-sort, which would get called once per frame. These sort of kludges will work, but can cause draw overhead as the UI elements up the chain are recalculated and redrawn every frame.

I’ve seen one extension use this method for a CT timer; but it’s not a great solution (due to extra draw overhead).

There have been a couple requests over the years to add timer functionality; but it hasn’t percolated to the top of the priorities.

I believe I own the ideainformer entry requesting it from 2008 I think. But it has so very few votes like most of the programming requests. That is a natural result because users have no idea what could be done with some of those requests.
