Hi, I am trying to port a Windows application to Linux with GTK+ and an important part of the GUI is a grid displaying a hex dump of memory which must be constantly updated.
I am implementing this using a gtk_drawing_area, with a loop which calls gdk_draw_layout() for each byte in the dump, for a total of 128 calls per update. I'm drawing to a pixmap, and then drawing the pixmap to the actual window. I realized that this might be a slow way to do things, but I was surprised by the fact that the slowness that I'm seeing seems to be based on the fact that the button and key events are not being received by my drawing area right away. I know this because I put a printf statement to write to stdout every time my updating function is called, and this can happen a number of times before the results of the event (a change in the selected byte in the dump) register on the screen. Any ideas why this is happening?
