| RE: [platform-swt-dev] Howto change text across threads |
There are a number of ways to do this. I usually use a event notification to the thread that owns the control. I use a thread safe queue, I put the incomming event notification onto the queue in the thread that wishes to notify the owner thread. And then in the loop of the owner thread I check the queue for any outstanding notifications and update the text based on what's in the event. This is just one way, there are quite a few depending on your needs.

I have a Text field which all threads should log their states to, but I keep getting error messages saying that I'm not allowed to change the contents across Threads. What is the proper way to do this? /Hans _______________________________________________ platform-swt-dev mailing list platform-swt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx http://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/platform-swt-dev
