Hi, I'm a beginner with GTK and I'm off to a good start w/ the various tutorials and some answers from this mailing list, thanks! I've got the basics down for connecting a TreeView to a ListStore, and populating the model with data, so now I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping for help with, but first a little info on my project:
I have a separate thread that's processing tasks, then we need to see these updates in the TreeView. I understand the MVC concept, and that I modify the model, and the TreeView will reflect those changes. So, the questions: 1. I understand that I should let the GTK main loop thread handle GUI changes; I've been doing this with the invoke method, but does this rule apply to the model that is tied to the TreeView as well? Should my queue thread ask the GTK loop thread to make all the changes to the model, or can the queue thread make the changes and the GTK main loop will auto-notice them and update the treeview? 2. In connection with question one, are there any extra steps I need to take to notify the GTK main loop? I've looked through the ListStore methods and I'm seeing methods like 'EmitRowChanged', etc. These would seem to imply that the GTK main loop won't notice these changes...and maybe that my queue thread can change the model, but I'm not sure. 3. I want to be able to perform actions based on a unique ID in my data rows, remove them, update them, etc. What methods/approaches are good for this with GTK, both from the user side (e.g. capturing the row that the user clicked on), or from the program side (e.g. remove row with unique ID 'x')? Cheers!
