I've made a simple program (any variable name mistakes not present in original program ;]) : ---CODE main.cpp--- #include <gtk/gtk.h> #include <gdk/gdk.h> #include <glib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> #include <unistd.h> class SomeClass { private: GThread *timer_thread; public: SomeClass(); static void* update_timer(void* Session); int start_timer(void); int stop_timer(void); //variables GtkWindow *MainWindow; GtkWidget *timer_widget; }; int main(int argc, char** argv){ gtk_init(&argc, &argv); g_thread_init(NULL); GtkWidget *Window = gtk_window_new( GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL ); gtk_widget_set_size_request( Window, 400, 400); gtk_window_set_title( GTK_WINDOW(Window), "Window"); gtk_window_set_default_size( GTK_WINDOW(Window), 400, 400); gtk_widget_show(Window); SomeClass Instance(); gtk_label_set_text(GTK_LABEL(Instance.timer_widget), "aaa"); //WORKS NICELY gtk_main(); return 0; } SomeClass::SomeClass(){ this->timer_widget = gtk_label_new("clock"); this->MainWindow = GTK_WINDOW(window); gtk_container_add( GTK_CONTAINER(this->MainWindow), this->timer_widget); gtk_widget_show(this->timer_widget); this->start_timer(); } int SomeClass::start_timer(void){ this->timer_thread = g_thread_create(&SomeClass::update_timer, (void*) this, FALSE, NULL); } int SomeClass::stop_timer(void){ g_thread_exit(this->timer_thread); } void* SomeClass::update_timer(void* Session){ struct tm* now_tm; SomeClass* ThisInst = (SomeClass*) Session; char ctime[9]; time_t tmp_t; g_print("%s\n", gtk_label_get_text(GTK_LABEL(ThisInst->timer_widget)) ); //WORKS NICELY gtk_label_set_text( GTK_LABEL(ThisInst->timer_widget), "aaa"); //DOESN"T WORK! SEGFAULTS! return (void*) NULL; } ---END CODE--- Command used to compile: g++ `pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --libs --cflags` `pkg-config gthread-2.0 --cflags --libs` -fPIC main.cpp -o start As stated above: I can set label text from main(). I can get label text from within thread I CANNOT set label text from within thread. And my question is why? Or what should I do to be able to write memory? _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
