The pattern goes like this:
if (!g_thread_create (background_worker, job_data, joinable, &error))
{
report_error (error);
return;
}
....
static gpointer
background_worker (gpointer data)
{
JobStruct *job = data; /* extract job description from data */
/* do everything you like, EXPECT touching widgets */
g_idle_add (report_progress, progress_data);
/* still do what your want, EXPECT touching widgets */
return result;
}
....
static gboolean
report_progress (gpointer data)
{
ProgressData *progress = data; /* extract progress from data */
MamanBar *ui = progress->ui; /* retreive UI handle */
gtk_label_set_text (GTK_LABEL (ui->progress_label), progress->text);
gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction (GTK_PROGRESS_BAR (ui->progress_bar),
progress->fraction);
/* UI has been update. Do not call this function again, unless
* new progress happend. In this case the function is re-added
* to the idle queue with g_idle_add().
*/
return FALSE;
}
Ciao,
Mathias
