Hi, In my application, there is a callback which may take a long time to finish. Is it possible to return from the callback when user really need? For example, code as following, can I press the button 'cancel' to stop the counting? Is there any document about thread in Gtk2?
use Gtk2 '-init'; use Glib qw(TRUE FALSE); my $window = Gtk2::Window->new('toplevel'); $window->signal_connect('delete_event' => sub { Gtk2->main_quit; }); my $hbox= Gtk2::HBox->new(FALSE, 0); my $but; $but = Gtk2::Button->new('start'); $but->signal_connect( 'clicked' => sub { my $i = 0; while ($i < 10) { sleep( 1 ); $i++; print "I'm working\n"; } return FALSE; } ); $hbox->pack_start($but, TRUE, TRUE, 5); $but = Gtk2::Button->new('Cancel'); $but->signal_connect( 'clicked' => sub { die "Stop it\n"; } ); $hbox->pack_start($but, TRUE, TRUE, 5); $window->add($hbox); $window->show_all(); Gtk2->main; -- Best regards, Ye Wenbin _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
