Sorry, you make a very good point. I am using gtk. I don't have a
problem with callbacks for the gtk widgets. My question is about
timers and their callbacks. The reason I used c++ code is that
Microsoft's COM interface is natively in C++, and Python uses "import
comtypes" to access this functionality and the dll's.[ie
GetModule('quartz.dll')]
Essentially what I would like to have [as evidenced by the c++ code]
is something like the following:
def timer_callback(args):
while timer is active
update scrollbar position based on video progress
#here I am using microsoft's COM interface, so the function would
be something like
scrollbar.set_value(media_control.CurrentPosition)
def scrollbar_callback :
when the scrollbar is moved, update this video position
#this I understand. It would be something like
media_control.CurrentPosition= scrollbar.get_value()
def pauser :
media_control.Pause()
*somehow kill timer*
def player:
media_control.Run()
timer.run() #timer.run() would call timer_callback
So I would like to know how to construct and implement a timer that
would do the above, a la the first callback. In addition, the timer
has to be able to be paused/killed if I pause the video, and
implemented again if I play the video ie:
