Given that sigc magic is hard for many people, you might want to simplify
this with a helper method:
// Called from the blocking operation in the worker thread
void gui_print(const Glib::ustring& str) {
sigc::slot<void, const Glib::ustring&> print_functor =
sigc::mem_fun(this, &Example::gui_print_ui);
sigc::slot<void> bound_functor = sigc::bind(print_functor, str);
callback_dispatcher.send(bound_functor);
}
// Called on the UI thread when the worker thread calls gui_print
void gui_print_ui(const Glib::ustring& str) {
tb->set_text(str);
}
This would make it easier for people to modify the actual action taken in
gui_print_ui.
