I have encountered a strange error followed by a crash when I add the following object to a GtkTextView by creating a child anchor and call gtk_widget_show_all.
The object that is added The object that is added to the child anchor is a GtkFrame inside which is a GtkTable and each cell of the table contains another GtkFrame each of which contains a GtkTextView. The error This works fine if it is all done from the main program. However, when I create the hierarchy described above in another thread and call gtk_widget_show_all on the GtkFrame that is added, I get an error in paint saying code should not be reached. Before this error, there is a warning that the iterator in text view has changed. I am not sure if the warning and error are related. Source of the error I replaced gtk_widget_show_all by gtk_widget_show in a loop going down the tree and calling it for each object. The source of the error was the gtk_widget_show on the leaf level view objects in the frames contained in each cell of the table. Situations under which it works When the leaf level GtkTextView objects are not part of the hierarchy of widgets I create or they are replaced by GtkEntry objects, everything works fine. Again, note that it also works fine if I do not have another thread and call everything from the main program on startup but I need to have another thread as this object will be created during the course of the program. I've tried both g_idle_add as well as using the gdk_threads_enter/leave pair. Any help will be appreciated. -Ferdinand _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
