[gtkmm] Problems with label and TextView

["Carlos Augusto Lains Leitao" <carlos_leitao hotmail com>]

Hi everyone,

                I am writing cause i am having some problems to write both 
in label and textview widgets. I wrote a program with gtkmm 2 for win32 that 
has a thread to read from a socket and everytime this thread read a message 
I increment an integer counter that must be displayed to the user but when I 
tried do display it in a label the whole application interface stop I mean 
the application continue to work but the user can not work with the 
interface anymore, so i tried to put display this counter in a textview 
widget but i´ve got some problems too, with the textview the application 
doesn´t stops but the textview is updated only when the cursor is set to 
it...I would like to know if anyone have an idea of what is happenning and 
if anyone could help me, if anyone know if is there something i can do to 
update the textview without the cursor set to it or/and if i can update the 
label without make the application stop....The code for the label/textview 
update is written below:


/*Thread for update the label/textview - counter is a global variable*/

     int old_counter=0;
     Gtk::TextView* ptxtcounter = 0;
     Gtk::Label* plblcounter=0;
     Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::TextBuffer> textview_buffer;


      meu_refXml->get_widget("txtcounter",ptxtcounter);
      meu_refXml->get_widget("lblcounter",plblcounter);

while(1)
{
    if (old_counter < counter)
 {
     textview_buffer = ptxtcounter->get_buffer();
     sprintf(auxiliary,"%d",counter);
     str_counter.assign(auxiliary);
     textview_buffer->set_text(str_counter);
     plblContador->set_text(str_conter);
     old_counter = counter;
  }
}


/*End*/


I would be very glade if anyone could help me....

Thanks for now,

                   Carlos Augusto
