I've a problem with a label and flickering. I want to create some kind
of stopwatch program in SWT and i succeeded to create an application
with a non-ui thread in which the elapsed time is calculated. In
this thread the label also gets updated via setText(). Everything works
fine 'till i start to use a font for my label displaying the time. When
i do this the label start flickering. I suppose this has to do with the
short sleep time for the thread (10). However this is necessary since
applications like a stopwatch needs that accuracy. My question is how
can I avoid this? Canvas and drawString? Other method for the labels ?
Other approach? Jface ?
