Need help with multi threading

[kiet tran <vietory2g gmail com>]

G'day,

I'm in a situation where I need to stay in a loop to listen for data from the other end of socket connection, and at the same time I want to update/display my GUI according to the information coming in.

The GUI that going to display these informations is a pop-up diaglog box.

So I  think to fix this I need to spawn a thread for the pop-up diaglog box.

Thus could some one please point me to some websites that show me how to operate multi threading in gtkmm or sample code to get a simple one running, thank-you.

Cheers,

Kiet Tran
