Re: Weird Output with Threads and NCurses

I don't use *nix; and the last time I used curses, was very brief & last century; but the idea that it would work correctly being accessed concurrently from multiple threads seems ... very remote.

As with most GUI frameworks that weren't developed specifically to work with threading; if you have to use curses, use it from one thread only and route all console IO from other threads, through that CUI thread via a queue.

Attempting to get anything else to work is a waste of your time; and is very unlikely to receive anything by way of support.

perldoc perlthrtut, says that Boss/Worker model is common in GUI applications. Can you kindly elaborate your comment, I didn't understand parts of it. I am new to Threads concepts.	[reply]

See Re: Tk, threads, and mjpeg stream or any of any of the many threads turned up by this search for examples and discussion of using Tk and threads. I cannot offer anything that uses curses directly as I don't use it, it doesn't run on my platform and whatever transient knowledge I had of it has long since been archived into long-term write-only storage :) With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
