Timo,
I wish to freeze the UI, while an operation is in progress.
Maybe you need a modal dialog with a progressbar? That way the user sees progress happening and the main window isn't active.



Anyways, I am facing another problem. Now, while the root window is
frozen, and if I try to unfreeze a child widget - by
"set_sensitive(True) - it does not work.

Is it expected? If yes, is there a workaround?
This could be solved with a (or more) calls like this:
while gtk.events_pending():
    gtk.main_iteration()

Cheers,
Timo



Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

Thanks Timo.

It worked !!!


Just one last query ::

When I desensitize the root window, the entire window goes "grayed".
Is there a way, so that we can prevent the graying out? Ideally, I would
like no colour change.

Maybe it's possible with theming, but I'm not familiar with that.

I wonder why you want to do that though. From a user's view, it's very
confusing when the window is unresponsive without visual indication. It
instantly reminds me of an application that hangs.

Cheers,
Timo

Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

         Hi all.

         I have four simple questions :)   ::


         a)
         How to block the complete UI (in the sense that no
         user-interaction with the UI is effective), although the UI
         changes take place as usual via the changes emanating from the
         code?


         b)
         How to block only a widget, while the rest of the UI remains
         unblocked?


         c)
         How to unblock only a widget, while the rest of the UI remains
         blocked?


         d)
         How to unblock the complete UI?


     Do you mean gtk.Widget.set_sensitive(True|False) ? You can use it
     on your toplevel window to disable the whole application or on
     individual widgets.

     Cheers,
     Timo


         Will be grateful for a reply.
