Hi, Some time ago I tried the Dispatcher concept. Here is my solution (not perfect but demonstrating the spirit of dispatcher and threads): startstop.glade: xml file defining the window startstop.cc: c++ source code... b.cygwin: a script that make the project under cygwin b.linux: a script that make the project under linux I hope it will help you! >>> gtkmm-list-request gnome org 04/12 12:01 pm >>> Send gtkmm-list mailing list submissions to gtkmm-list gnome org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to gtkmm-list-request gnome org You can reach the person managing the list at gtkmm-list-owner gnome org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of gtkmm-list digest..."

There is a brief way. Use Glib::Dispatcher, which is a asynchronous signal that uses a pipe. I'm not sure if there is an example program, but this is a very common question. -- Fredrik Arnerup <arnerup kth se> ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list End of gtkmm-list Digest, Vol 12, Issue 19 ******************************************
