How to set icon for progress job's group? [message #491369]

Hi,

I have a few jobs set in the one group.

The code for creating group looks like:

IJobManager manager = Job.getJobManager();

IProgressMonitor monitor = manager.createProgressGroup();

monitor.beginTask("Configuration", 20); // start group progress

Then I have implemented Job#belongsTo(Object family) method for each of my
job and the Job#setProgressGroup(...).

The job and progress view are executing fine, but the problem is the group
icon (it is the yellow dot) that I cannot change.

I have tried to set the icon for each of my jobs (using setProperty(...))
but it does not work when the job is assigned to group, however when the job
is run standalone, outside group the icon set is appeared.

Also, I have to use the following method to define icon to group level:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getProgressService().registerIconF orFamily(ImageDescriptor
icon, Object family) but it doesn't work.

Note that I am using default (eclipse) progress view.

Please tell me how to handle this...

Regards,

DL

The icon for the progressgroup is not configurable. You need to raise
an enhancement request if you want.

Hi Praksash G.R.

Sorry, how did you know for this?
I ask that in order to avoid such time spending on the issues that are not
even supported in Eclipse?
If you have some good advise, please respond..

Regards,
DL

ProgressInfoItem.getInfoImage() returns the image to be displayed in
the Progress View. You need to look into that code. First few lines
returns the default image for the progress group.

I'm maintaining the Progress code, so it was easier to spot the place.
If you want to find it yourself, you can use the PDE spy to find the
view class and then dig into that code. Alternatively, you can post in
this forum. We are watching the forum and we will help you :-)

You can configure the icon for a job family:
org.eclipse.ui.progress.IProgressService.registerIconForFami ly(ImageDescriptor,
Object).
