Re: Waiting forGMainLoop events

Hello Kip,

Thank you for the answer.

Unfortunately this will not help.

If the method "Runs a single iteration of the mainloop" as stated in the documentation it's not OK - I won't be able to lock the mutex.
By the way, if I correctly understand the documentation the
g_main_context_iteration( GMainContext *context, gboolean may_block  );
that I plan to use has also the possibility to block if no events are pending.

What I need is waiting for an event, without executing it.

with best regards,

bogdan

Hello,

Is it possible to wait for GMainLoop event  without processing them?

the following pseudo-code illustrates the problem:

while( notEndLoop )
{
    waitForEvent();

    lockMutex;

    // Run a single iteration
    g_main_context_iteration( context, false );

   unlockMutex
}

Please note, that I have to lock the mutex before running an iteration.

Thank you for your help

Hey Bogdan,

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but take a look at the
gtk_main_iteration_do(gboolean blocking) function, specifically setting
the blocking parameter to false and checking the return. From the
documentation:

        Runs a single iteration of the mainloop. If no events are
        available either return or block depending on the value of
        blocking.
        
                blocking : TRUE if you want GTK+ to block if no events
                are pending
        
                Returns : TRUE if gtk_main_quit() has been called for
                the innermost mainloop

Take care,
