GTK+ Forums

Hi all,

I'm developing an application that uses another event driving library (PJSIP) and I'm experiencing some problems.

Seams that I shouldn't call GTK+ funcs from other threads than the main gtk thread, so I did a hack with g_timeout_add() to get over this.

But now my app are showing some weird behaviour, things like showing the window but 'sometimes' not the inner widgets (yes, I'm using show_all()) even thou I know the code is being executed.

So my question is: What is the right way to tell GTK+ apps that another (not GTK) events has occurred?

I like to send some kind of "signal" in my code and then handle this signal on the gtk main thread. I think this might solve my problems...

Thanks.

Hi,

Without knowing the structure of your application a bit more it is hard to tell what it is you are doing wrong. Maybe one possible problem is that you are not letting the GTK+ event loop take control to allow it to display all the widgets.

I solved my issues by removing all calls to gtk functions from the code and moving the to separate functions.
Where they were called I added the g_idle_add() pointing to this newly created funcs.
Thanks
