Hello! I am trying to use notify a main gtk thread ( from a separate thread) that some even occurred using pipes. I get the following warning when I am trying to setup pipes. What is a good workaround? when I can this g_io_channel_win32_new_fd, I see this warning, and thus pipe isn't created at all :( GLib-WARNING **: giowin32.c:1564: 3 isn't a C library file descriptor int fds[2]; GIOChannel* gioChannels[2]; HANDLE rdPipe, wrPipe; SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES saAttr; saAttr.nLength = sizeof(SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES); saAttr.bInheritHandle = TRUE; saAttr.lpSecurityDescriptor = NULL; if (CreatePipe(&rdPipe, &wrPipe, NULL, 1024)) { fds[0] =_open_osfhandle((gssize)rdPipe, O_RDONLY); fds[1] = _open_osfhandle((long)wrPipe,_O_APPEND); gioChannels[0] =g_io_channel_win32_new_fd(fds[0] ); gioChannels[1] =g_io_channel_win32_new_fd(fds[0] ); g_io_add_watch( gioChannels[1],(GIOCondition) (G_IO_IN | G_IO_HUP), (GIOFunc)SomeCallaback,(gpointer)this ); } The goal is to notify main application that something occurred in thread thread. In my case, I can't use gtk in multi-threaded way (calling functions of main thread from spawned one), so I am trying to do it via pipes. I also saw that it could be a visual studio issue in this thread http://mail.nl.linux.org/xchat-discuss/2004-03/msg00177.html Any suggestions? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Error-converting-a-pipe-%28Handler%29-to-fd-on-vs-2003--to-use-with-g_io_channel_win32_new_fd-tp24866916p24866916.html Sent from the Gtk+ - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
