Is it possible to change the textbuffer's text without activating the changed event?

I have code in the changed event that will actually change the text... so i don't want them firing changed again.

Hi,

it is possible to temporary disable the signal emission.

Your would normally connect you signal using some thng like this.

Code:

    gulong  handler_id = g_signal_connect(instance, detailed_signal, c_handler, data)

You can then block and unblock by using the following functions.

Code:

void                g_signal_handler_block              (gpointer instance,
                                                         gulong handler_id);

void                g_signal_handler_unblock            (gpointer instance,
                                                         gulong handler_id);

More information can be found at the on-line documentation http://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/gobject-Signals.html#g-signal-handler-block.
