Hi list!
First of all I want to introduce myself. I'm Alexandre and I'm
starting to work with PyGTK and I have a problem right now. I want
to explain that problem.
I'm developing a application with a tray icon that he updates
automatic every "X" seconds inside a eternal loop. Because of that I
need to replace my gtk.Main() call with the following sentence:
thread.start_new_thread(gtk.main, ())
and use for every gtk call the following sentence:
gobject.idle_add(one_gtk_call)
By this way, the gtk events will executed inside another thread and
my computation can be done in the main loop. Ok, all right. But now
I need to have a input dialog to the user fill his password and I
need all the compute stop until the user fill the input, but I can't
do that because all the graphics calls are running in a another
thread.
Are you can help me to solve that problem? I'd tried anything I
could, and read all documentation I have.
I've had much more luck the other way around. GTK calls go into the
main thread and I start new threads for other computations, etc. The
other threads never touch GTK, they tell the main thread what to do.
I started back in Gtk 1.something with pygtk 0.6.x and I just was
never able to get my threads to cooperate when they all tried to do
GTK call, so I avoided that.
Thanks to all very much!
P.D. If you have more doubts with the problem or you can understand
well, tell me, I can tell you more details.
