gtk-sharp 2.0.0.0 Gtk# is thread aware, but not thread safe; See the Gtk# Thread Programming for details.

Multi-threaded integration with Gtk support.

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. Typically applications will be executing the main Gtk+ main loop and when threads are done processing work, they invoke to invoke a method on the main Gtk+ thread.


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
  }
}

Wakeup the main thread, and invoke delegate.

This methods wakes up the Gtk+ main thread and executes the delegate that was specified at construction time in the Gtk+ thread. Constructor
