Hello,
I just want to update a progress bar during processing a long task.
I’m using glade gtk and ruby, my english is so bad that a code sample
will be, may be, clearer…
Class MainClass
[…]Definition of initialyse method and other thing like that: all
works fine[…]
def on_button1_clicked(widget)
gpxFileSelectDialog = GladeXML.new(GUI_PATH, “gpx_select”,
“gpsDialog”, nil, GladeXML::FILE)
filter = Gtk::FileFilter.new
filter.name = “fichier GPX”
filter.add_pattern(’*.[gG][pP][xX]’)
gpxFileSelectDialog[‘gpx_select’].add_filter( filter )
if gpxFileSelectDialog[‘gpx_select’].run == Gtk::Dialog::RESPONSE_OK
@gpxFile = gpxFileSelectDialog[‘gpx_select’].filename
gpxFileSelectDialog[‘gpx_select’].destroy()
id = @widgetTree[‘statusbar1’].get_context_id(‘gpx_file_choosed’)
begin
@progressBar.fraction=0.0
@progressBar.text=’’
@progressBar.ellipsize=2
My progress bar don’t pulse :’(
timer=Gtk::timeout_add(100) {@progressBar.pulse;true}
# Une trace est un tableau de point, les points sont toujours
dans l’ordre chronologique
th=Thread.new{ @trace = Trace.new(@gpxFile) }
rescue RuntimeError => reason
@progressBar.text=reason # Thread is aborted for some reason
puts “Houston we’ve got a problem”
ensure
Gtk::timeout_remove(timer) # and remove the callback
@progressBar.fraction=1.0
@progressBar.text=“Completed”
end
@widgetTree[‘statusbar1’].push(id,“gpx file = #{@gpxFile}”)
else
gpxFileSelectDialog[‘gpx_select’].destroy()
end
end
[…]
end
Main program
if FILE == $0
GUI_PATH = “/My/path/to/my/file.glade”
GUI_MAIN_WINDOW = “mainWindow”
MainClass.new(GUI_PATH, GUI_MAIN_WINDOW)
Gtk.main
end
My question is why the Gtk main Thread don’t draw the pulse of the
progress bar. The gpxFileSelectDialog window self close correctly, but
after the main window seam to be frozen…
I googled, even in C and python, looking for things which can unfroze
me, but, 404 i’m not found.
The Trace Class, juste open a XML file, parse it (using REXML) and puts
some information into an array.
If you could give me directions to dig, i will be very happy.
