Hi Let have two functions:
gint aaa(void) { gint func_id ; ..... func_id = gtk_timeout_add(500,(GtkFunction)bbb,0) ; ... } gboolean bbb(gpointer data) { g_print(" Hello world \n") ; return FALSE ; } so at the first look at the function aaa it seems that it makes a thread which is running of function bbb every half second. But for the second look we see that it is not true - it is just calling a function bbb with the data=NULL. This way of calling functions has advantages: the function aaa "says" to gtk "please call function bbb in half second". So during this half second GTK has time to repaint, resize, ..... - good for timereal performance. But now the question is: Is it possible that the function aaa() "says" to system GTK: "please execute function bbb() in max half second. If you (GTK) have nothing to do please execute bbb() now" OK now you can answer that then I should use gtk_idle_add instead of gtk_timeout_add. I do not want to do that - because in case of gtk_idle_add the bbb() function sometimes can be never executed. OK Some of you can say I should use gtk_idle_add with priorities: but it somehow solved problem, but here I do not have this time limitations: I dont know which priority to use in gtk_idle_add_priority (or whatever name) to get max 500ms for calling the bbb() functions. OK does anybody knows how to solve it or maybe some suggestions. Also - still - if somebody knows a good applications which uses threads to update status of GTK windows - please tell me which one and maybe the link to source ;-) Best regards Zbigniew Wasik _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
