Hello Everyone,
This is my first day on the mailing list, and as it is I have a question
regarding some odd behavior I am encountering.
I am writing an application on OS X 10.8 using C#, Mono 2.10.9 and MonoDevelop
3.0.4 (including the Designer views) that makes some simple changes to LDAP. As
part of it, I decided to get fancy with GTK#. All is going well, except for one
behavior.
I have created a window class to display a progress bar and stop button. I have
further created a function in this class to update the progress bar with a
fraction and text message. In my code, I create a new instance of this window
class when real work is happening in another class, and then populate it after
every ten iterations of a foreach loop.
My problem is that when the window is created FROM THE CLASS DOING REAL WORK,
it displays neither the progress bar widget, nor the button. It displays only
the window title and then white space below. Only this window displays this
behavior -- several other windows that I create over the course of the
application all display appropriately.
If I instead create the progress bar window in Main.cs and call Show(), it will
display just fine. I can even call the function to set its status from Main.cs
and it will display correctly.
I have tried creating the window in Main.cs and passing it to the class that
does the real work later. I have tried creating it in other classes besides the
one that does the work. In all cases the behavior is the same -- if the window
is created and used solely in Main.cs it will display fine, but if it it ever
invoked or created from anywhere else (whether or not it is created in another
class or in Main.cs) it will display incorrectly.
I have taken to using the debugger and break points to isolate the behavior. If
I set a breakpoint immediately after the window is created, it is still blank
-- that is, I do not think it is a case that the window is just not keeping
pace with any updates I am sending. I have also compared the various values of
the window objects and attributes when it is displayed (created and used solely
in Main.cs) and when it is not (displayed in any other class) and they seem to
be identical.
So, I am at a loss, and I would appreciate any advice you might give.
I can send any code you think would prove useful, but for now I am sending you
the class where I am trying to call the window, and the contents of the
window's code-behind.
Thank you for any guidance you can give.

this.progressIndicator.Text = "Completed " + finishedUnits + " of " +
totalUnits + " with " + errorUnits + " errors. Current user is " + finishedUser
+ ".";
}
protected void OnStopUserClicked (object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}
