does a sleeping thread still handle messages?

[bardley]

if a thread with a registered event listener is in its run() method but sleeping, will it still be listening for events? i.e., will it be woken up to handle that event, or will it sleep until it is ready again and THEN get the event, or will it totally miss the event?

sleep() will NOT unblock to handle the event

typically you only sleep to provide a "delay" mechanism, which of course you don't want in your UI.

What are you trying to do?
