I have a function that will take some time to run.. actually, it forks
out another process which can take up to say 4 seconds. I want to
display a modal dialog during this time, or perhaps just a statusbar
message. In any case, whatever I do does not show up until AFTER the
process is finished (and thus only shows up for an isntance).
I thought I could maybe create a global flag that is set right before
gtk_widget_show() , and is cleared once the "show" signal occurs for
that widget, and then have an infinate loop waiting for that flag to be
clear before calling that process. This bothers me because of the
infinate loop and because it just seems like there's likely a better
way. Like is therea function call that allows pending redraws or
whatever to complete before continuing? Like a "do pending tasks" sort
of thing. I saw a gtk_wait in another program once but I don't see that
in the documentation.
Any help?
