Please help. I am trying to create a progress monitor on the status line
of workbench. I successfully created one with IRunnableWithProgress.
However, I cannot use the approach because the request to control the
progress monitor comes from outside the "run".
What would be an easy way to create a progress monitor on the workbench
statue line directly? I found that
ApplicationWindow.getStatusLineManager().getProgressMonitor( )
would be a good candidate, but I couldn't get to it from the "workbench"
(IWorkbench or IWorkbenchWindow).
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
JK

Thanks for the info, but I am trying to avoid using IRunnableWithProgress
and create IProgressMonitor object directly on the status line of
workbench. Since my request to create Progress monitor comes from an
external component, I couldn't make the IRunnableWithProgress working.
The "run" function cannot return while the progress monitor is up. If I
create a separate thread for the "run", then it is not a UI thread to
update the progress monitor.
All I want to do is to create a progress monitor widget on the status line
of workbench and control it. Conceptually, it sounds simple, but I cannot
figure out how to get the status line from IWorkbench.

There is no API for you to add something to the status bar that is global to
the window. Only the active view/editor has control of the status line.
