How to use GtkEntry/GtkEntryCompletetion with gtk_cell_renderer_text_new
Hello all, I need to use a couple of function that I have for Mask Edit, those that I'm using sucessfully with a bunch of gtkentry call backs. So, is there any way to use that with gtk_cell_renderer_text_new and gtkentry ? Or maybe I can change my functions to use key-press-event, but I'm not able to use that in a cell render, or in a worse case, Can I get the cell coordinates, then I can create a dialog/entry over that ?

Multiple threads and gtk_main()
I've a few threads (more than one) doing some work (not accessing GTK functions), I'd like to have a general way to make them notify their work to the main loop. I used the g_idle_add() in the previous context where I had only a thread with this behaviour, but with two or more threads the g_idle_add() method of notification is not correct IMHO (what happens if two threads call g_idle_add() before the call of the first one is processed by the glib main loop?) I thought about a mutex solution, something like this: thread X: lock idle_mutex g_idle_add(my_idle_func) my_idle_func: unlock idle_mutex [update the gui] return FALSE This way should work but when I use mutexes in context I've not full control on I always fear unhandled deadlock situations... I though about using a GAsyncQueue for every thread but in this way the problem I have is how to notify the main loop that there is something on a queue, I've not found anything in the documentation... I fear the only way it's to use a pipe or a socket, or an idle function, but in this case I will occur again in the locking problem, I hope I'm wrong about this so I'm asking here :) -- Bye, Gabry ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

Let an idle function (or a timeout function) always run, that checks the GAsyncQueue and does something if there is something to do, or simply returns if it is empty. Wouldn't that work? ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

It allows multiple writers and one reader, and you can make a select call in a g_idle_add() callback to see if it's readable and handle it if so.* I haven't experienced a locking problem with regard to writing to a pipe or socket. Multiple threads can be writing to a pipe, but each chunk passed is guaranteed to be written intact, and you've only got one reader, so no contention problem on that end. As long as you always know how much a writer has sent you (a length field in a fixed-size header, or fixed-size messages). And if all readers and writers are in the same address space, they only need to pass the address of the object, so you are writing just pointers, and using ring buffers, right? // Wally *Let me add that I would first take a closer look at what gtk provides that's more processor efficient than an idle-loop for checking whether something is readable. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 619.278.2084 Cell: 619.990.2286 ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
installing gtk+-1.2.0
Dear GTKers, I've been having trouble compiling GTK+ apps for some time now. ./configure always goes through its regular motions until: checking for GLIB - version = 1.2.2... yes checking for gtk-config... no checking for GTK - version = 1.2.0... no *** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found *** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to gtk-config. configure: error: Test for GTK failed. My version is gtk+-1.2.0. My glib is glib-1.2.2. I have no file called gtk-config, nor does it seem to exist in any distributions of GTK+ whose list of files I've read on RPMfind. I'd be very obliged if you could sort me out on this. Keep up the great work, and thanks, Uma. ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

That would work with a timeout, but not with an idle function. Using g_idle_add() in this way would create a busy loop.
