It's very easy. Whenever your thread wants to update the GUI, use the g_idle_add() call from within the thread to ask the main loop to run some callback function. Then the callback function can update the GUI, from the main thread. Of course things like setting how far the progress bar should go need to be done with data structures that would be shared between the worker thread and the main thread. If there is ever a possibility that the main thread will also have to write to these data structures, then you'll need to use synchronization primitives around them. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
