In my main window I open a filechooser dialog then close it, set the
mouse cursor to Gdk::WATCH, call a function, then change back the
cursor. The problem is after the dialog closes the main window does not
immediately redraw and the cursor does not immediately change. It's not
until my function is nearly finished that these things happen. What
could be my problem here? Maybe I'm not understanding the way X events
fit in with non-X operations.
my code:
void MainWindow::menu_open()
{
Gtk::FileChooserDialog dialog(*this, "Open File",
Gtk::FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN);
dialog.add_button(Gtk::Stock::CANCEL, Gtk::RESPONSE_CANCEL);
dialog.add_button(Gtk::Stock::OPEN, Gtk::RESPONSE_OK);
int response = dialog.run();
dialog.hide();
if (response == Gtk::RESPONSE_OK)
{
// change cursor while working
get_window()->set_cursor(Gdk::Cursor(Gdk::WATCH));
_filename = Glib::filename_to_utf8(dialog.get_filename());
_member_widget->read_from_xml(_filename);
// enable menu items
_save->set_sensitive();
_save_as->set_sensitive();
_close->set_sensitive();
_export_to_html->set_sensitive();
get_window()->set_cursor();
}
}
