Hi

I want to implement an dialog, which triggers a long running execution after clicking on an button.
You should even be able to cancel this execution by clicking on a Cancel button.
And the execution itself changes some states (e.g. progress bar, status messages...) that are showed in this dialog.

I tried with
new Job("Building all distributions") {
protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor progress) {

new UIJob("Building all distributions") {
public IStatus runInUIThread(IProgressMonitor monitor) {

//-> some long running actions
service.run (new ISomeProgressInterface () {

@Override
public void distributionStarted(blabla) {
//Changing state of visible elements
lblSomeLabel.setText("Started building distribution " + currentDistro);
update ();
}
@Override
public boolean isCanceled() {
return buildingCancelled;
}
}
return Status.OK_STATUS;
}.schedule();

return Status.OK_STATUS;
}.schedule();

btnCancel.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {

@Override
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent arg0) {
LOGGER.info("Canceling build");
buildingCancelled = true;
}

But with this construction the selection adapter doesn't notice any clicking.

Could you show me an example how to implement this best possible?

Thanks
Cheers
Markus
