Hi all,

I've been thinking about my FBReader port, and getting it to turn pages faster. With xepdmgr only, it takes ~5 seconds for my test pages to display the new page, after using the flipbar, which is a little too long for comfort.

I've managed to port FBReader page display to the erdm way of doing things, and this brings it down to ~2 seconds, which is much more manageable.

The only trouble, is that with this version is that the widgets that you get from pressing the menu buttons don't work terribly well. The File Selection dialogues, and the configuration dialog are particularly useful.

So I thought that instead of trying to find every instance of things that needed porting there, I'd try and use a mixed approach, use xepdmgr for the menu button dialogues, and the erdm style for page flipping.

To my questions then

Is that pretty much what the EPDCancel() function is for?
and
How do I use that in FBReader? (or other code for that matter)

Cheers.
