[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Keeping shell open?

[conorgaff@xxxxxxxxxxx (Gaff)]

The application is GMF based the user completes some actions that calls 
this which must return a value at the end:

public class ChangePropEditPolicy extends OpenEditPolicy{
	private String  inputtext; // text to be read in
	
	 @Override
	 protected Command getOpenCommand(Request request) {

        Command ret = null; // value to be returned at the end

SOME GMF STUFF...

final Shell s = new Shell(SWT.CLOSE|SWT.RESIZE|SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL);
s.setSize(500, 600);
s.setMinimumSize(500, 600);

final Text t1 = new Text(s,SWT.BORDER);
		 t1.setBounds(10, 10, 100, 20);
		 
		 
		 Button b1 = new Button(s, SWT.PUSH);
		 b1.setBounds(10, 50, 40, 40);
		 b1.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter(){
				public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e){
					inputtext = t1.getText();
					s.close();									
				}
			});
		 
		 s.open();


SOME MORE GMF STUFF THAT USES inputtext THAT THE USER INPUTS, BUT THE 
PROGRAM JUST KEEPS RUNNING BEFORE THE USER CAN INPUT IT SO IS ALWAYS EMPTY

return ret;
