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

[Markus Keller <markus_keller@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you really need a modal dialog, then
you should run the operation inside the wizard dialog (no need for another
dialog).
Otherwise, you should schedule a Job
as John said, and then you can show detail messages by setting the progress
monitor's task name or by creating subtasks.

Note that inventing new UIs will make
it harder to eventually get your code into the platform.

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.
I'm using job.schedule(). Is it possible to pass a progress
monitor for that job to the scheduler?

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").

I really want to have my own progress dialog, because
the job notifies about details on its progress, and I want to make a dialog
which reports what it has completed so far.
