I am executing a long running procedure in the main line code and
therefore the UI doesn't get updated since I never get to the event
loop. I created a thread that checks to see if the busy dialog I
display is still around:
=====
while 1:
if dialog.progressTimerId is None:
break
gtk.threads_enter()
if gtk.events_pending():
gtk.mainiteration(gtk.FALSE)
gtk.threads_leave()
=====When the long running procedure is done it tells the dialog it is done which does: ===== gtk.timeout_remove(self.progressTimerId) self.progressTimerId = None ===== However, sometimes I get the message: == GLib-WARNING **: g_main_iterate(): main loop already active in another thread == and the UI never gets updated again. This leads me to believe that the mainloop in the main process (not the thread created for the long running procedure) is reporting the message and quiting. I started out by doing the long running procedure in a thread and keeping the GUI code as is. However, I quickly ran into situations where it is difficult to have a general function to handle the thread.
