I came to GTK# from the same place so don't feel too bad. Last time I'd done any GUI programming was with Borland's OWL toolkit on Windows For Workgroups. :) > Basically, there are a lot of fields (you can see an image at > http://quarter-flash.com/powerball.png) and the [Play] button kicks > off either a thread or just starts the loop that starts running the > program. > Because the actual code for updating fields is part of a separate > class (separate from the GUI) I am not seeing the UI update at all. I assume your Window / Dialog with the form fields is a class? Just expose the fields as properties might be the simplest way. ... public string Jackpot { set { jackpot.Text = value; } } ... That should update the value in the field. Have your command class call that method of your Window/Dialog/Form class. > I have seen a lot of very simple tutorials on how to make a GUI > responsive, but I'm not seeing two way communications happening.

You can either update the field whenever the value is changed by the calculation or call a Timer to refresh the values from the command class. > The interface was designed in Glade and perhaps there are some > properties there that I've set incorrectly that are hindering my attempts. > Any pointers/references that you can point me to would be *greatly* > appreciated. -- Consonance: an Open Source .NET OpenGroupware client.
