I want to change the icon of a button through the constructor method. But it's not happening as I wish. See the following code:

demo.py
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk','3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk
from others.dbconnections import PgSqlConnection
class MyWind(Gtk.ApplicationWindow):
def __init__(self, app):
super().__init__(application=app)
self.builder = Gtk.Builder.new_from_file('demo.glade')
self.add(self.builder.get_object('box1'))
if not PgSQLConnection.test():
self.builder.get_object('image1').set_from_icon_name('network-error', Gtk.IconSize.SMALL_TOOLBAR)
self.builder.get_object('spinner1').stop()
The PgSqlConnection.test()
is a method that returns True
if the connection was successful otherwise it returns False
.
However, this method takes a few seconds to return. So the window is displayed only after the return of the method.
This is not the behavior I want. I want to display the window while waiting for the return of the method test
. The component spinner1
is active by default.
Depending on the return, the icon of the button1
is changes and spinner1
will be disabled.
The spinner1
component is a animation that indicate that something is being processed.
