Hello Gtk-list, I have a background thread that can fire a gui task by using "g_idle_add". But i don't want the task run when there is a modal dialog or a drag&drop operation in progress. In other words the user shouldn't be interrupted when doing something. I thought that "gtk_main_level" would tell me if a modal window is up but it doesn't. For me it always returns 1. Any ideas? I can't add code around the parts that run modal dialogs because i'm not in full control of the complete source code. -- Best regards, Lothar mailto:llothar@xxxxxx _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
