My application has one operation that runs for a long time (~1 minute). During this time, the user is not allowed to do anything. Nevertheless, I felt that it was important to give the user some feedback that the application is still alive and that the operation is running. My solution was to print a message in a TextBuffer and follow the message with a string of dots that grows in length by one every second. To get the TextView to update, I used events_pending/main_iteration. This all works nicely. However, because of the events_pending/main_iteration statements, the entire GUI is now alive. Thus, the user is able to do things that disrupt the long-running operation. Basically, what I want is a way to get the TextView to update so that I can update the progress indicator but for everything else still to be locked out. Is there a way to do this? -- Jeffrey Barish _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
