I already gave you the answer to this. While you are looping in your
callback you have to iterate the GTK main loop:
while (some long-running thing) {
while (gtk_events_pending ()) {
gtk_main_iteration ();
}
//do something
}

Re: discoveries! gtk DOES dim... how can i infinite-loop?
Gary, based on conversations in the past about what you are trying to do, I whipped up a little program that just might approach what you are trying to do. If I understand you correctly, you wish to do the following: - type text in an editor where abbreviations are expanded (by macros in gvim or some other mechanism in another editor) to full words or phrases, so that you can compose text faster, even with disabilities. - speak the written text with espeak the text - save what was spoken so you can load it back up and re-speak it, or edit it and speak it again. Seems like the big requirement is the ability to use abbreviations. I'm not clear on how gvim does it for you, but the GtkSourceView2 widget (not part of GTK, but all distros have it and it's fully integrated with GTK) supports what are called "Completions." They are intended for use with programming, but they also can function as an abbreviation mechanism. As you type, when an abbreviation is detected it can pop up a suggestion that pressing enter will accept, or keep typing and the suggestion will change or go away. Multiple suggestions can be made as well. So, here's my program. It's written in Python, since python is one of the absolute best languages for rapid prototyping. This app did not take much time to write, and it gave me a chance to refresh my skills and learn how to use some more advanced GTK widgets like the TreeView. Anyway, my program does not save what was spoken to disk, though that can be added very easily. It does save what was spoken during one session of running the program. As well, currently abbreviations are hard-coded in completion.py, but again that could be saved to disk easily. There's already a dialog for editing the abbreviations within the program. I believe it does most of what you require, and could be expanded very rapidly. It is written in Python, but now that the prototype is made, it could be converted to C easily, though there is no advantage in doing that really. The GUI itself was made in Glade-3, so the actual widgets and the magic behind the TreeView is hidden somewhat. Glade has the advantage of making it very easy to rapidly develop the GUI. Anyway, the source code is here: git repo: http://www.torriefamily.org/~torriem/tts_assist.git tarball: http://www.torriefamily.org/~torriem/tts_assist.tar.gz You will need to install pygtk2 and gtksourceview2. On Fedora those are the exact package names. I think it would be fun to develop this further (perhaps porting to GTK3), but I thought I'd post what I had. If it's not useful, that's fine. Python makes coding fun and very fast! Michael ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

[g]vim creates a .SWAP file in the pwd; so since gvim creates .talk.N.txt.swp while the textfile is being types into, i do a while(!done) check on the .swap file. then i do a second while loop while talk.N.txt exists. finally, espeak [flags] | aplay speaks the words in the text file.

any know issue with gtk-quartz radiobutton ?
Hello GTK users, I've just switched from gkt-x11 to gtk-quartz on a mac air 11" 10.6.8, mac ports up to date, but the main app for which I use GTK as the widget toolkit now got an issue about radiobuttons: the callbacks associated get called, but the visual does not follow, it stay on the default active radio button. For simpler (examples) apps, with gtk-quartz, this problem does not appear. Note that I'm using GTK thru OCaml lablgtk wrapper, which otherwise never shown major issue if not at all (mature code).

That is probably what you have to do. If I understand what your code does (and how) then while gvim is running your app is *not*. Your app is blocked and waits until gvim terminates. The same for espeak. You need to use a function such as g_spawn_async() to execute it. Then it depends how you communicate with the programs. If you just want to know when it terminates use waitpid(). Yeti ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
