That is correct - it is not there.
There is only one UI thread in SWT.
To do UI work from another thread, use the asyncExec and syncExec methods
on Display.

Re: [platform-swt-dev] Cannot layout new widgets on a non rectangular
shell
Hy Carolyn & Abhishek
@Carolyn: I know about the swt newsgroup and normally use it:) I will
post a reply here anyway in order that
Abhishek will stay on the same page. I can't find the topic regarding
having multiple event loops in the link
you provided. Could you please point me to the right location (you may
kindly also repy to the original request in
the swt newsgroup)?
@Abhishek: The code below works for me. Please note that I took quite a
big picture
to test. The scrolled composite is not transparent. I am not sure
whether you would need transparency for
the scrolled composite too and how to achieve it.
Cheers
