I was wanting to add a progress bar to a function, but
the problem is that progress bar is only shown after
the function is over even though the first thing i do
in the function is to show the progress bar.
Is this progress bar for the purpose of showing the progress through a long function? It may be that the function is not relinquishing control back to gtk. If that is the case, perhaps you should look at
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-General.html
and perhaps use the gtk_main_iteration_do function. Hope that helps.
So maybe i should give a delay after showing. Is there
any function which causes a delay, or if someone could
suggest some other idea.
I don't think this will help. I think this will just que up a bunch of gtk events to be done, but the events won't really get carried out until the next main loop is run through. But if this is somehow the reason I suppose you can try usleep. (try man -a 3 usleep). I am not sure what platform/language you are using or if gtk has its own sleep function.
