Re: repainting GtkTextView

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 Thanks for the reply --

 The code is already on a timeout_add call. Here is what I am doing.

  /* prototype */
  timeout_callback (...)  /* called every 10 sec or set by user */
  {
     while(open(file) == NULL)
     {
         /* can not open file on stupid windows 2K  --locked by pther process*/
        
         log_to_text_view_widget( " File is locked ..."); <== This does not
happen.
         sleep(1)  ;   /* wait to see if other proc closes the file */

         if( loop > 10 ) break; /* give up for now and come back later on
timeout. */        
     }

     /* when we reach here, the 10 messages from log_to_text_view_widget()
shows altogether. */

  }
