Elysian Shadows

I have a timed trigger class that is not paused when I move the window or re-size the window or switch to another window.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
BTW I'm using SDL.

Make the dragging of the window and the re-sizing of the window a part of a separate thread. I think that should do the trick.
That way, when you're doing stuff with the window, the game/program doesn't freeze.

How do I do that though?
I thought that's what SDL_EVENTTHREAD did but it still freezes every time I manipulate the window.
