I dont know how to use the IProgressMonitor stop button :( [message #497026]

Hi everybody!

I have a IProgressMonitor that I used when I launch a process since my
RCP: monitor.beginTask("Launching planner...",
IProgressMonitor.UNKNOWN);

I need to give users the posibility to stop the process using the stop
button of this progress monitor (it appears by default) but that button
do nothing when pressed and I don't know how to listen when user press
that button.

I've thought to implement an async thread that checks by polling if
monitor.isCanceled() is true, but I think that is not the best way.Does
anybody has an idea about this?

Thanks a lot and the best regards.

Juan,

Generally the code itself that's using the monitor to trace progress
should be checking the flag and terminating quickly...

Yes, you're right but I was looking another sort of help, because it's
that checking of the flag what I dont know how to implement.

this isn't an SWT question.

Yes you're right. But think that the problem is relates to a
org.eclipse.jface.operation.AccumulatingProgressMonitor and I thought
some people expert in SWT perhaps would know something about this.Sorry.

Thanks!

Hi Juan,

The pattern is like this (ignore the bad !style).

mon.

doWork(IProgressMonitor mon){

boolean workComplete = false;
while(!mon.isCancelled() && !workComplete){
workComplete = a_little_work(); }

if(!workComplete && mon.isCancelled){
dialog("You pressed the cancel button before work was complete")
}
}

Now, the good behaviour is to check the cancel button frequently.

Best regards,

Wim
