I just wrote this quick test and compiled it and tried it in N.Aes and I can
move the sliders and such while the screen semaphore is locked.
Similar behavior I take it.

OPENW #1,20,20,200,200,TRUE !fast way
CLEARW 1
wh&=W_HAND(#1) !gfa window index -> gem handle
~WIND_UPDATE(1) !lock
DO
  key&=EVNT_KEYBD()
  ~WIND_SET(wh&,8,BYTE(key&)*7,0,0,0) !hslider position
  ~WIND_SET(wh&,16,BYTE(key&)*7,0,0,0) !vslider size
LOOP UNTIL BYTE(key&)=27 !escape?
~WIND_UPDATE(0) !unlock
CLOSEW 1
EDIT !pterm
