I guess you can invoke ORB::Run() in other thread, and leave main thread =
process GUI event loop

  Subject: [omniORB] GUI and OmniORB Event loop


  Hello all,

  My app have a GUI and is a CORBA client/server.
  What's the best solution to have a GUI main loop with the CORBA =
ORB::Run() loop running together in the same process of course ?

  With ORBacus I use an API funtion :=20
  =20
      reactor  =3D GetX11Reactor() // return the CORBA message reactor=20

  and then give the reactor reference to a special=20
      ORB_Init(....., reactor);

  In this way, the CORBA loop also manage the GUI event without invoking =
the GUI main loop.
  =20
  Is there a similar API in OmniORB ?

  I'm not familiar with GUI main loop in UNIX app. If someone has an =
idea on how to do please fill free to tell me !

  Thanks
