here in the 2nd button that runs the editor increases the file[N].txt count, and voices what the user typed.
how can do do this is an endless loop so that user doesn't have the stress of moving fingers from keyboard to mouse each time? it can bed an infinite loop or something large like 100 to 500 typings; i'm assuming this would be some serious discussing. thanks for any insights. gary ps: i'm thinking of having two horiz buttons: one for a click-at-a-time, and the other for chat endlessly.... OH: and another that would end the chat wsithout Quit'ing the app. Appended: run__button_click_cb() -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix void run_button_click_cb (GtkButton * button) { extern int counter; gboolean matchWithinString(char *argument, char *pattern); gchar *editString = EDITCMD; // gvim -c startinsert extern char voice[]; int done = FALSE, fret,i, sret; extern char titlebuffer[]; memset (&titlebuffer, 0, sizeof titlebuffer); gtk_widget_set_sensitive (GTK_WIDGET (button), FALSE); sprintf(accessbuf, "%s%s", VBCPATH, ifbuf); sprintf(editcmd, "%s %s", editString, accessbuf); system(editcmd ); //run_button_cb gtk_widget_set_sensitive (GTK_WIDGET (button), TRUE); chdir(VBCPATH); while (done == 0) { if ((fret = file_exist(accessbuf))) // accessbuf is /home/kline./VBC/talk.[N].txt { done = 1; } else { continue; } } done = 0; sprintf(voice, "%s %s %s %s %s -f %s %s | %s", ESPEAK, A1,PITCH,SPEED,LANG, ifbuf,OUT,APLAY); while (!done) { sret = system(voice); if (sret != 0) { done = 0; } else { done = 1; } } counter++; // inc talk.[N].txt to talk[N+1].txt /* Update label to show updated counter */ if (prefix) { sprintf (ifbuf, "%s%c%d%s", prefix, DOT, counter, suffix); } else { sprintf (ifbuf, "%d%s", counter, suffix); //fprintf (stdout, "\nDEBUG: internsl filename = [%s]\n", ifbuf); } update_label (); if (counter >= 1) { if (prefix) { g_snprintf (titlebuffer, 1023, "<span foreground=\"red\" background=\"yellow\"size=\"x-large\">%s%c%d%s</span>", prefix, DOT, counter, suffix); } else { g_snprintf (titlebuffer, 1023, "<span foreground=\"red\" background=\"yellow\" size=\"x-large\">%d%s</span>", counter, suffix); } gtk_label_set_markup (GTK_LABEL (label), titlebuffer); } //gtk_widget_set_sensitive (GTK_WIDGET (button), FALSE); return; } _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
