Hello, I should first disclose that I'm a very novice programmer working on my first GUI app ever!
I have an app using a TreeView/TreeStore to display a table with 8 columns and about 5 rows. The program loads with a blank window. I click on one button, and 3 of the 8 columns are populated with data for all 5 rows. Next, I click a second button, and for each of the 5 rows, an intensive database routine is performed to get data to update the rest of the empty places in each row. I iterate through a list of the five rows, running the database search seperately for each one and using the TreeView Models SetValue function to update each row. I call treeview.ShowAll() for each iteration to do the refresh. My problem is: The treeview is supposed to update each time a result is found (5 times in total, one for each row). I do this to show the user that progress is being made. Unfortunately, both the data and that statusbar functions that I am calling wait until all of the intensive data searches are done before refreshing. Basically, it waits until everything is done, and then refreshes. Is GTK just slow? is it Mono? Is there a way to get the screen to refresh even though I'm running a heavy load operation between refreshes? help! thanks :-D -mwp -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Newbie%27s-TreeView-updates-*very*-slowly-tp21151505p21151505.html Sent from the Mono - Gtk# mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Gtk-sharp-list maillist - Gtk-sharp-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gtk-sharp-list
