Hi,
Thank you very much for this example with EventHandler. I didn't know about it
and wanted to implement asynchronous display refresh my way - I wanted to
create thread that would receive data from ttb and update view without freezing
all GUI. Tomorrow I'll try to use EventHandlers.
I wanted to create another node for tracing application because I was thinking
about tracing multiple nodes in the same time. And I thought that it's better
when tracing application runs on completely different node than on one of which
are being traced. Another reason is amount of trace data which is being
generated - when tracing application runs on same node your tracing results
will be "polluted" with events generated by it.
So could you explain me how can I create new node (what arguments should I pass
to BackendManager.createBackend) on which I could start something (ttb in this
case)?
regards,
Piotrek
