Thanks for your great sample. And, thank you for your tips on speedup the ping
stuff.
However, i still have problem when adding timeout to join().
- It works, but only print out thread result that is not alive, as we put in
the code. So, i never get result from unsuccessful ping action, which might
take more time than timeout specified.
- I still have little delay in GUI. Is it possible to make it smooth in GUI
operation? When i put more timeout (say: 0.5 from 0.2), i will have to wait
longer.
PS: thanks for pointing out inefficient ping action :) I will follow the tips.
But, another time I might need to do something else, like downloading files, or
checking for serial devices. So, this thread thing, imho, is very important.
Any help would be very appreciated.
M.
