What? How did you possibly read that from what I said? The code that you wrote has a bug. There is nothing wrong with GTK or GTKMM, you're just using it wrong. You are creating a secondary worker thread. In that worker thread you are accessing a GUI widget. You can't do that. Not being able to do that is not a bug; trying to do it anyway is. > Since you think everyone is telling me something different, I'll follow > your suggestion and reread the thread and keep studying the thread to > see where I'm going wrong.

So far everyone has been saying the same thing, just phrased differently. It appears however that you have not yet understood any of those suggestions. I even explicitly told you what you should be doing instead (using a queue with a mutex and a Dispatcher), which is the same thing that Andrew Potter suggested that you try last week (with a code example, no less). > You appear to be telling me to study and use gtk rather than gtkmm.

No, that is not what I was suggesting. I was saying that you should first learn how multithreading works in general. Then how multithreading works in GTK+/GTKMM (since the two are basically the same thing, just with different syntactic sugar). And only then try to apply it to your application. _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
