I am working on an application that will have multiple widgets that display the same value in different ways. For example I could have a scroll bar that represents a numeric value, and an entry that also represents the same value. That way the user can either slide the scroll bar or enter a value into the entry.
What I am trying to avoid is having one value update cause multiple signals to be emitted. The concern is that this could lead to an infinite loop, particularly if the datatypes aren't exact with each other, and one widget update rounds one way and another rounds another for example. I'm looking for a way to call a widget's set_value() without having the on_value_changed() called, or the signal_value_changed() emitted. That way I can update a widget to reflect the current value (say from another widget's change by the user) without it then trying to signal back to other widgets to update. I need a way to know when a widget is being updated by the user acting on the widget versus my own use of set_value() within the program. Unless of course there is a better way altogether. Thanks. _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
