R devel - Dec 2007 - RGtk2 + tcltk combination problem (PR#10497)

Full_Name: Hans Dieter
Version: 2.6.1
OS: windows
Submission from: (NULL) (217.93.91.19)


Hi all,
first I used a TCL/TK GUI, after my work I cloed it and opend an RGTK2 GUI.
Now I have the problem, the RGTK2 GUI will not refresh correctly and basic
user-commands ( close windows ) dosen't work.

Greetings
Dieter

This is likely a result of RGtk2 "piggybacking" on the tcl/tk event
loop on
Windows. One workaround in your situation is run gtkMain() at the R console
to force the GTK+ event loop to run. The downside is that the R console will
no longer be responsive.  It's tough to keep so many interfaces working at
once. Another solution might be to add a tcl/tk timer task that iterates the
GTK+ loop (gtkMainIteration()).
