RE: [Mono-list] Remoting a GTK UI
It sounds like a threading issue... Does the app just hang or do you get varied results each time you run it? If it is a threading issue, you may need to setup a delegate [in the app that has the UI] and invoke the delegate when you make the call to the UI app... I am new to delegates and have only used them a few times when trying to return data to a UI when calling an Asynchronous Webservice ... Is it a small sample app with the remoting piece and the UI piece, if so you can zip it up e-mail it to me and I can take a look at it and see if I can get it to run on my machine. -=Robert -Original Message- From: George Farris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 2:04 PM To: Brown, Robert Cc: mono-list@lists.ximian.com Subject: RE: [Mono-list] Remoting a GTK UI On Tue, 2005-05-31 at 13:35 -0400, Brown, Robert wrote: > Are you just trying to retrieve a value from a textBox on a remote > machine?

RE: [Mono-list] Remoting a GTK UI
Are you just trying to retrieve a value from a textBox on a remote
machine? Will the textBox always be available and if not what do you
expect to be returned to you?

Not what I meant. I want to have a .NET remoting client control a widget
in a remote gtk server app.
As an example: with the small piece of code below, how do I get the
AccountNumber class to reference ui so I can control the interface and
will this actually work or will the thread hang? I'm not a threading
guru, in fact never done any threading code so I really don't understand
all the ins and outs yet.
using Gtk;
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Remoting;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http;
class Server
{
public static MyWindow ui;
public static void Main ()
{
Application.Init();
ui = new MyWindow();
Console.WriteLine("running, listening on port 8080...");
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(new HttpChannel(8080));
RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(typeof(AccountNumber)
,
"ui", WellKnownObjectMode.Singleton);
Application.Run();
}
}
public class AccountNumber : MarshalByRefObject {
public string GetAccount()
{
ui.ShowAll();
string s = ui.AccountNo.Text;
ui.HideAll();
return s;
}
}

[Mono-list] Remoting a GTK UI
Does anyone have some example code to show how to effectively remote a gtk# UI? I'm simply not knowledgeable enough about this type of thing and documentation about it is severely lacking.
