[Gtk-sharp-list] ProgressBar connected to process

[glacialfury]

Hi,

I'm experimenting with small programs to learn my way around GTK programming
with C#/mono.  In this case, I have a GUI with three elements: a Button, a
TextView, and a ProgressBar.  Pressing the button runs an external process
("ping -c 4 localhost") and displays the output in the textview.  This works
perfectly.

I next attempted to "tie" this in with a progress bar, because there is no
indicator that it is pinging until it finishes the command and posts the
output.  I have been unable to find any useful tutorials or examples for
this kind of work.  So ...

1) Is it possible to tie a progress bar to a process?  I.e., it starts to
pulse when the process starts, and ceases to pulse when the process
finishes?  
..... while (Process is running) { ProgressBar.pulse(); }

2) If I were to then build two commands (and two progress bars) in to the
program, would they have to be run in separate threads if I wanted them to
be processed at the same time?

Respectfully,

David Alt
