Re: [platform-swt-dev] freeze while requesting a URL

Investigate Display.syncExec() and Display.asyncExec().
Try using asyncExec() from the URL thread to post notification to the UI thread when the URL thread is done.

well what i've been now working on half the day was
to get my URL fetch function into a thread that requests a page
and tells me when it's done.
I get errors about invalid Thread access, etc.

previous to my tryes i had the URL request in the MainThread ( UIThread
)
and thus it froze my UI each time i requested a URL.

finally i kind of switch a boolean on/off. in the MainThread from the
URLThread. but this seems not to be right.

I think what i'd need to do is to queue up the MainThread for
processing.the stuff.

Or should i just go the other way round and let the MainThread(UI) queue
up my seperat thread?

But than again, how do i access the widgets to set the result?
will allways return in invalid thread access  :*/

thanks in advance,
 moritz angermann
