Xlobby plugin development

modify db from a plugin

Postby badubo on Thu Feb 17, 2005 11:37 am

Hello,

I would like to process some commands in xlobby from a plugin (in the execute method or a separate thread like a timer)

Such command are :
- changing the content of xml dba
- dba associated with categories + refresh
- the listing associated with EPG

It works most of the time but sometimes, I get a red cross in the screen and an exception (it's in french, but it means something like "cannot access a non instancieted control")

How can I change my code to becomes thread safe. Is there a way to ask xlobby to lock resources while I change them (like the grabpaintkey) ?

thanks
