[platform-dev] SWT no more OS handlers Exception - Windows XP

["Hasith Yaggahavita" <hasithy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

In loading a large row set several times on to a TableViewer instance using setInput() method, I get a fatal error indicating no more OS handlers exist. The stack trace is:

 

Unhandled exception caught in event loop.
Reason:
No more handles
A fatal error happened while informing the user about a fatal error.
org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: No more handles
            at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:2358)
            at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:2262)
            ...
            ...

 

As a solution I tried calling dispose() method of each and every TableItem before calling the setInput() method with new input. But that doesn’t help.

 

Google doesn’t say much about this Exception either.

 

Any idea on this issue?

 

Thanks in advance
