Re: [platform-ui-dev] Assigning a ProgressMonitor to a Job

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure I understand the question,
but a progress monitor instance is provided to the Job's run method by
the framework. Your job just needs to use that monitor. You don't need
to create or pass in your own monitor. If you want a job that shows progress
in a dialog by default, along with a "run in background" button,
you just need to call Job.setUser(true) before you schedule it. You shouldn't
need to implement a custom dialog for this - just schedule the import job
when the wizard closes, and if it is a user job it will present its own
dialog automatically (unless user has said "always run in background").

Assigning a ProgressMonitor to a Job

Hi all,

I'm working on implementing a dedicated report dialog for a long running
job ( https://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/UI/Smart_Import
). I'd like this dialog to have a ProgressMonitor, just like the Wizard
Dialog can have, in order to report job execution progress.
However, the job can be detached (there would be a "Run In Background"
button), so if I understand correctly it's still necessary to have it implementing
Job rather than IRunnableWithContext. However, I don't get how to specify
to the job which progress monitor to use, or specify to the progress monitor
which job to monitor.
Is this possible? Do you have a hint?

Cheers,
