Hi Folks,
I'm wondering how I can bring up a modal window (for example, a welcome message) after my main ApplicationWindow is shown? I'm using JFace but am also interested how you'd do it in SWT.
I managed to get something working by overriding the open() method on my ApplicationWindow and doing something like this...
@Override
public int open() {
int result = super.open();
MessageDialog.openInformation(getShell(), "Welcome", "Hello");
return result;
}
but the main window appears above this welcome dialong. I'm wondering if it'd be better to use some child window but I havn't read that chapter yet!
Cheers for any tips,
Toby

Hi,
in my RCP-App it works like this:
in ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor:
@Override
public void postWindowOpen() {
MessageDialog.openInformation(
getWindowConfigurer().getWindow().getShell(), "Info", "hello");
}
hth,
