Why figure.setforegroundcolor(ColorConstant.yellow) can not execute! [message #146869]

A method highlighted all the RectangleFigures in the given list:
************************************************************ ************
public static void highlightInst(List instances){
deHighlightAll();
for (Iterator iter = instances.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
RectangleFigure element = (RectangleFigure) iter.next();
element.setForegroundColor(ColorConstants.yellow);
element.setLineWidth(5);
}
}
************************************************************ ************
The question is:
Sometimes if(instances.size>0),when the first RectangleFigrue execute
element.setForegroundColor(ColorConstants.yellow),the "for" loop stopped.
"element.setLineWidth(5)"can not be execute,the other RectangleFigues in
the list lose the opportunity to change their forgroundcolor and
linewidth too.
these codes is in a receiveTread which receive information about which
figures should be highlighted.!

What does stopped mean? Does it throw an exception?

"stopped"mean in the receiveThread I can not set figure's
foregroundcolor successfully!The statement after the "setForgroundColor()"
can not be execute.but there is not any exception throw!why?
In the receiveThread I can not set the figures's forrgroundcolor which
belong to the main Thread ?

You must access figures only from the UI thread. Use
Display.getDefault().asyncExec() or syncExec()
