Hi,is there a way to wait for gtk events via some file descriptor given to a select call?I am porting an application to gtk that calls some "gimme_input" function every now and then and want's me to do some waiting for net sockets there. Now i'd like to use the same select call i am using for the network sockets also to wait for gtk events. Is this possible? What's the name of the file descriptor to use? Thanks, Till
Till:I think you could use GIOChannels. A callback can be setup when data is waiting to be read from an iochannel. An iochannel is created from a file descriptor. Hopefully this link will
point you in the right direction: http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-IO-Channels.html#g-io-add-watch
