SetText freezes the gui

ROOT
1

Hello,

Based on the spy.cxx tutorial, I have written a gui to watch monitors. While the
communication between the client and the server works perfectly during days,
the gui application completely freezes after some time (a few minutes usually).

It seems that something blocks the application when updating the text in the TGTextEntry
widget with the function SetText #-o . Please see the output of gdb below.

If somebody can help, I am thankful as I am running out of ideas.

Thank You,

Bertrand

Hi,

Hard to tell what’s going on. Could you send a running piece of code showing the problem?
You can also try to call “fParName[i]->SetText(ctext, kFALSE);” (don’t emit signal) to see if it changes anything.
BTW, which ROOT version are you using?

Cheers, Bertrand.

Hello,

It looks like adding kFALSE in SetText solved the issue, as you
suggested =D>

I had the “problem” with both Root 5.22 and 5.26.

Thanks again,

Bertrand
