Hi Bo,

Thank you for your reply and suggestion.

According to the documentation about Glib::Thread
class(http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/glibmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGlib_1_1Thread.html),
there is a statement saying that "if you want to
return any data from your thread you can pass an
additional output argument to the thread's entry
slot".

I don't quite understand what it means. Is anyone out
there know how to do it?

Thanks

Kevin
