I use a button on my ruby gtk2 app which starts a longish job processing and I want to disable the button while processing so that the user can't accidentally run it twice. I figured setting button.sensitive = false would do the job and tested it with the following code:
button.signal_connect(:clicked) do
button.sensitive = false
puts "clicked"
sleep 5
button.sensitive = true
end
Clicking on the button after the job has started still seems to put :clicked events on the stack so if I click the button twice more during the sleep, 'clicked' is displayed three times in the console window when I expected it would appear only once.
Do I misunderstand how this is meant to work? If it won't work the way I expect, is there a way to clear the event stack once the job is finished?
