- do you mean win32gdk?
- do you mean TThread class under win32gdk? If it's so, TThread and co. classes
in TODO list. IMO, this class must be rewritten in more general way
(without special purpose http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/TThread.html#TThread:XAction)
- you can use Win32 API to create threads inside compiled code.
There are two classes which provides thread safety under win32gdk
TInterpereter and TVirtualX.
For example, at http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/src/TCanvas.cxx.html#TCanvas:Update
it's used as
if (!gVirtualX->IsCmdThread()) {
gInterpreter->Execute(this, IsA(), "Update", "");
return;
}
> Or is there another way of having functions run in the background of Root.
- you can use TTimer class. http://root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/TTimer.html
you can connect TTimer::Timeout signal to "worker" function wich would do
something in "background"
