this doesn't cause never ending recursion if MY_VALUE is a single value. gtk_spin_button_set_value (foo, val) does nothing if "val" is equal to the current value.
this is a classic problem for Model-View-Controller programming, and blocking the signal is not normally the right way to deal with it.
It isn't? Oh dear.
I have a very similar problem at the moment with a model containing a floating point variable and two controllers: a GtkHScale and a GtkSpinButton. The controllers are added to the model as subscribers. This works fine if you use the spin button to change the variable - the hscale moves to match and it all looks very nice. Clicking in the gutter of the hscale also works. The problem is if you move the hscale by dragging it. This causes an oscillation between two values (one int and a close floating point number). I assume that the spin button is reacting to having it's adjustment set to a non-integer value by rounding it and something similar is happenind with the hscale.
I was planning to simply lock the value in the model during the publishing phase to solve the problem, but it sounds as though that might not be the best approach. So, what _should_ I be doing?
