Hi,

I have button pressing which a lot of events take place. My problem is until the event returns after pressing the button the complete application freezes. Is there way that the button gets released and these steps take place.

thanks for your replies in advance,

What are these events doing? Maybe a simple:

Code: (Plaintext)
1	while (gtk_events_pending()) gtk_main_iteration();

in between events that take some time to process.

Actually, When I press the button I do some socket connections and get back the data. As it takes some time to open the sockets I want to show the status to the user in a text view. The text_view gets only updated after the button release.

I want to do multi threading. While one event opens the socket, other should update the text_view and show it to the user.

Is it possible to do this on GTK. I have done a lot of Java programs where its easy.

thanks
