Hello.
I have a question regarding concurrent instructions in gtk+. I will use the
following example. Consider a program that creates a window using gtk+ and also prints
variables to the terminal from which the program was run. Usless program I know, but
good for the example. I want to be able interact with the GUI while the numbers are
being printed, but I don't know how.
I tried code like this
...........
...........
...........
int i=0;
while(i!=100000)
{
cout<<i<<endl;
}
gtk_main();
...................
...............
and this prints out all the variables then starts the GUI.
I reversed them and it started the GUI and didn't print the variables until the GUI
was closed.
I was wondering if there was some signal function in GTK+ where a function and an
interval were set. Every time of length interval a signal was sent to the program and
the associated function was run. I am a native windows programmer and just new to
linux, so this was my first idea.
I have also done some reading on a function fork(), which created two threads through
the program. In theory I think that this might work, but am not sure. Does anyone know?
Thanks
Ciaran
