      @DannyL408 How can "windows to be dragged around" block your polling thread? Do you really have a second thread for polling or is everything in the same thread? You should really tell more about what you are doing.

        Hi
        You should also mention the platform.
        On Windows, when holding and dragging the caption of a window, most events are not
        send to the application while dragging. ( Like timer)

            Ok. Then what you see is normal.
            If you give more details on what you want to be able to do, we
            might find alternative method.
