Re: create a popup window from thread

[Liu Hai Bin <haibin resolvo com>]

Thanks.

I thought I don't need to put any gdk_thread_enter() and gdk_thread_leav() as long as I use main thread to 
update the GUI. I use the async queue. In the main thread, I have callback function like

void popup_dialog(GtkWidget *image, gboolean result)
{
       gtk_widget_show(dialog_done);
       gdk_flush();
}

The other thread put data to the queue,

       event_data->callback = popup_dialog;
       g_async_queue_push(thread_events_queue, event_data);
       g_main_context_wakeup(NULL);

I tried adding gdk_thread_enter() and gdk_thread_leave() beside gtk_main(). But it didn't help. I also tried 
adding

while (gtk_events_pending ())
 gtk_main_iteration ();

into main thread and the other thread. It didn't work either.

Any idea? It does look like locking problem. The dialog has frame only, withou any text or button.

Hi

You have GDK locking problems.

See GDK Reference Manual -> Threads.

And

while (gtk_events_pending ())
 gtk_main_iteration ();
