Hi,
is it possible to process only some specific events from the GTK/GDK event
queue and leave the others in the queue so they can be processed later by the
main loop?
I'll try to explain it better: I have a GTK-based app which runs the gtk_main()
in its void main().
However at a certain point (e.g. upon user click on a GtkButton), I need to
perform a long computation. I don't want to use a secondary thread; rather I'd
like to do everything from the main thread. To avoid blocking the GUI of my app
during the computation, I call from time to time:
while (gtk_events_pending() != 0)
gtk_main_iteration();
to process the pending events in the queue. However now I'd like to process only
_some_ of the events of the queue, and leave the others in the queue itself.
Is it possible?
Thanks!!
Francesco
