Timely Display of Dialog Contents

[Marshall Lake <mlake mlake net>]

I have an issue where the contents of a dialog (a label & pic) is not 
always displayed in a timely manner (or at all).  In the code below the 
dialog outline (the size of the dialog changes from pic to pic) always 
displays properly as it should.  But the contents of the label and the pic 
in the gtk_image_new_from_pixbuf() call sometimes display appropriately 
and sometimes don't.  (When the dialog content doesn't display properly 
the dialog outline displays but the contents are blank.)

The code below is within a large loop.  There's a lot of other stuff going 
on.  The contents of the dialog (label & pic) changes with each execution 
of the code.  If I slow down execution of the entire code with sleep() I 
get the same results as described above.

The code below is executed within a g_idle_add().

I've tried adding:
while (gtk_events_pending ())
    gtk_main_iteration ();

after the gtk_widget_show_all() to no avail.

I appreciate any insight.


    batterpicwin = gtk_dialog_new ();
    gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (batterpicwin), "Batter Pic");
    gtk_window_set_default_size (GTK_WINDOW (batterpicwin), 200, 130);
    gtk_window_move (GTK_WINDOW (batterpicwin), batpicwinlocX, batpicwinlocY);
    gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (batterpicwin), "delete_event", GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (donot_delete_event), 0);

    strcpy (&work[0], "Batting - ");
    strcat (&work[0], &savebattername[0]);

    vbox2 = gtk_vbox_new (FALSE, 0);
    gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (vbox2), 8);
    gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (GTK_DIALOG (batterpicwin)->vbox), vbox2, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
    label = g_object_new (GTK_TYPE_LABEL, "label", &work[0], NULL);
    gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (vbox2), label, TRUE, TRUE, 0);

    vbox2 = gtk_vbox_new (FALSE, 0);
    gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (vbox2), 8);
    gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (GTK_DIALOG (batterpicwin)->vbox), vbox2, TRUE, TRUE, 0);

    picbox = gtk_event_box_new ();
    gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (picbox), gtk_image_new_from_pixbuf (pic));
    gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (vbox2), picbox, TRUE, TRUE, 0);

    gtk_widget_show_all (batterpicwin);
