[Openmcl-devel] Running code in a hemlock-view

[Ron Garret]

Not sure what you mean by running code “in a hemlock view”.  Hemlock views don’t have associated threads, so running code “in a Hemlock view” doesn’t really make sense.

Calling hi::handle-hemlock-event outside the context of an event handler fails because somewhere along the line it calls some cocoa function that can only be called from the main thread.  (What ever gave you the idea that calling hi::handle-hemlock-event might be fruitful?)

I would recommend reading chapter 6 of the CCL docs, particularly section 6.12.
