With the libglade for gtk (not the GNAT GLADE), the XML connects callbacks to widgets like a pixbuf. AFAIK, once the XML is parsed into the widgets and callbacks and instantiated, it's running whatever code you've hooked to the widgets. So, I guess "real-time" at that point is up to the OS ;-) I've no idea if there's a libgladeada type of thing with the GtkAda binding... -- echo ">gra.fcw@2ztr< eryyvZ .T pveR" | rot13 | reverse
