Re: Is Disptacher-functionality Gtkmm only?

["Daniel Kraft" <d daniel-kraft net>]

I yet found another workaround. As I needed Dispatcher for repainting while
playing back a video in another thread, which has to be done very often, I can
also use an idle signal to do repainting. This is not perfectly what I need but
it works quite well.

But now I'll take a look at those classes suggested, thank you again!

Yours,
Daniel
