Thank you for your response. I am new to GUI programming so bare with
my ignorance. I am using the Chapter 21 Monitor I/O section that reads/writes from pipes. As shown in the book, data is read into Glib::ustring buf. In talking to a friend who has done some MSWindows GUI programming, he said that there was a built-in mechanism to get data in and out of the user interface object. For example, in my case, I have a window that selects the type of equipment that is attached: DV or HDV camcorder. The camcorder interface also sends back data that is displayed. As shown in chapter 21, I read from the file descriptor into Glib::ustring buf and have a similar setup to write out. Is there a mechanism to get the data into and out of the Gtkmm user interface (event loop)?

Initialization data must go from the user interface to the equipment and status data comes in from the equipment to the user interface. Is there a mechanism in Gtkmm for user interface data i/o or are regular C++ techniques usually used? _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list |
