Hello, if I use g_idle_add, then when the function from g_idle_add is executed, it blocks the 'update_pbar' function. So I probably must make it with threads but by now I think it's to early for me to work with threads. It's easier if I add the progressbar into the main window, and update it with: while (gtk_events_pending()) gtk_main_iteration();
Later I would probably try it with threads. Thanks for the help. 2007/3/6, Karl H. Beckers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Am Montag, den 05.03.2007, 17:03 +0100 schrieb patrick: > > Great!
