In fact, the example "gtk-thread.c" provide by http://developer.gnome.org/gdk/stable/gdk-Threads.html works fine on WIN32 too, and it calling GTK+ API from different threads (not from main-thread via idle callback) !! So the "Unfortunately ..." statement only apply to GDK on WIN32 ? It's safe to call GTK+ APIs (if protected by gdk_threads_enter/leave) from multi-threads even on WIN32 backend ? Is this correct ? Attachment is gtk-thread.c with a little modification (change pthread by GThread). Best Regards, KC > > Best Regards, > KC >
