Basicaly what happens is that when a user presses a connect button on my interface, the callback fires up a seperate pthread to handle the connection. Unfortunately I want this new thread to update the interface regularly to let the user know it is trying to connect.
I have tried using the following code:
while(Gtk::Main::events_pending() )
{
Gtk::Main::iteration();
}
Now GTK keeps complaining that it is being told to update from outside the Gtk::Main loop, and the program is EXTREMELY flaky, usualy dying on a signal 11 shortely.
How do I get the main loop to update the interface without killing everything? I have tried finding information on the Glib::Dispatcher system but there is really no information on how it works, or how to use it.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Sincerely
Melvin Newman
