How do I synchronize between them ?
This is a quite common problem in GUI design. How do you syncronize between a long job and a short fast one (as quitting). The first answer is that you should not do any long jobs. You should split the long work in small ones, and let every other job have the ability to run. Alternative you could make a coprocess to read the DB and when the work is done you get the result in one "operation". Well - the real answer is - it could be difficult. You might turn to some syncronization mechanism or maybee threads... -- Göran Hasse ---------------------------------------------------------------- Göran Hasse email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 08-6949270 Raditex AB http://www.raditex.se Planiavägen 15, 1tr Mob: 070-5530148 131 34 NACKA, SWEDEN OrgNr: 556240-0589 VAT: SE556240058901 ------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
