It just didn't felt right, because I see ProcessKey() as some kind of message loop, which I don't want to give too much responsibilities. In my current design, the menu has a presenter (MVP), which is an observer that get's notified by the thread. I will probably let the presenter collect the items to be updated and when the menu comes across a kNone in ProcessKey, it lets the presenter update any items it may have in it's "update queue". Surely not the best solution, but maybe I will find a better one later on. Thanks, Tobias
