Popping results out of a running thread is easy to do. Create a GAsyncQueue. In your thread, add your results to the queue, a schedule a function to be called from the main loop with g_idle_add(). In your g_idle_add() callback, use g_async_queue_pop() to get the results, and free your results. _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
