Hello Kip,
Thank you for the answer.
Unfortunately this will not help.
If the method "Runs a single iteration of the mainloop" as stated in the
documentation it's not OK - I won't be able to lock the mutex.
By the way, if I correctly understand the documentation the
g_main_context_iteration( GMainContext *context, gboolean may_block );
that I plan to use has also the possibility to block if no events are
pending.
What I need is waiting for an event, without executing it.
with best regards,
bogdan

Hello,
Is it possible to wait for GMainLoop event without processing them?
the following pseudo-code illustrates the problem:
while( notEndLoop )
{
waitForEvent();
lockMutex;
// Run a single iteration
g_main_context_iteration( context, false );
unlockMutex
}
Please note, that I have to lock the mutex before running an iteration.
Thank you for your help

Hey Bogdan,
I'm not sure if this is helpful, but take a look at the
gtk_main_iteration_do(gboolean blocking) function, specifically setting
the blocking parameter to false and checking the return. From the
documentation:
Runs a single iteration of the mainloop. If no events are
available either return or block depending on the value of
blocking.
blocking : TRUE if you want GTK+ to block if no events
are pending
Returns : TRUE if gtk_main_quit() has been called for
the innermost mainloop
Take care,
