It appears to work except when a long process is encountered that then holds up the production of the rest of the widgets. So in short, it would appear to me that it is not working as a multi threaded dll :(

That's exactly the syntax I'm using when I say I've created a multi threaded dll. The problem remains, however, that a long process holds up the remaining widgets to be rendered. Obviously it isn't working as well as I'd hoped.

Did you ever notice this behaviour?
