<summary>Multi-threaded integration with Gtk support.</summary>
<remarks>
<para>The ThreadNotify class is used to invoke methods in the Gtk+ thread. Since Gtk is not a thread-safe toolkit, only a single thread at a time might be making calls into Gtk.</para>
<para>Typically applications will be executing the main Gtk+ main loop and when threads are done processing work, they invoke <see cref="M:Gtk.ThreadNotify.WakeupMain()" /> to invoke a method on the main Gtk+ thread.</para>
<example>
<code lang="C#">
using Gtk;
class Demo {
static ThreadNotify notify;
static void Main ()
{
Application.Init ();
notify = new ThreadNotify (new ReadyEvent (ready));
Application.Run ();
}
static void ready ()
{
// Update the GUI with computation values.
}
static void ThreadRoutine ()
{
LargeComputation ();
notify.WakeupMain ();
}
static void LargeComputation ()
{
// lots of processing here
}
}
