Re: how to update the content of a TextView from a non-GUI thread

Hi,

Try using Glib::Dispatcher class to report the asynchronous gui events
to the main loop from your thread. Once your main loop gets notified of
the event, you will be able to update the content of TextView.

Hi, all:
    I'm writing a geometry program in Gtkmm. My program create a new thread to carry out a lengthy computation. Meanwhile, I want to show the  step-by-step  computation procedure in a TextView. So I need to update the content of the TextView from the computation thread. From experiences on other GUI toolkits, I figured out that it can not be done directly, and I need something like the Windows PostMessage() function. So what is the gtkmm counterpart of PostMessage()? A gtk C API is also OK.
   Thanks in advance.
