Hi

I've got a project which need to fille in a dtextox with data that
comes from an external HID , whose iterface is a simple char device.
(On *nix platform).

I considered write a seperate monitoring thread for this which 
blocks on the device node until data is availabel and then calls
a supplied callback.

The problems with this are that without fancy thread footwork,
the callback is not called from the 'GUI' thread. Which can
IIRC cause GTK issues.

Has anyone ever done anything like this , or think of an alternate
model. For instance is there anyway I can insert a poll() or select()
call int othe dabo/wx mainloop?

TTFN
