Which is the best way to create a textview that show me the actuall logfile in a gtktextview? Currently i update a buffer with gtk_text_buffer_insert_at_cursor(data, line, -1); in a timeout, the problem here is that the new text gets copied at the and of the old text, i also tried gtk_text_buffer_insert, but that gives me no text or a segfault.
This is the function that gets called by teh timeout out_smb_status(gpointer data){ system("smbstatus -S > /tmp/smb_status"); FILE *fp = fopen("/tmp/smb_status", "r"); gchar line[512]; if (fp) { while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), fp)) { gtk_text_buffer_delete(data, 1, 512); gtk_text_buffer_insert_at_cursor(data, line, -1); //gtk_text_buffer_insert (data, 1, line, -1); //gtk_text_buffer_set_text(data, line, -1); } fclose(fp); } return data; } and the rest textview1 = gtk_text_view_new(); puffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(textview1)); g_timeout_add(500, out_smb_status, puffer); gtk_widget_show (textview1); gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (scrolledwindow2), textview1); I had the idea that there is something wrong with my fileopening, maybe thx rupert _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
