Hi all,

Problem :

Based on selection in the outline view, i must trigger a selection in the editor area with DELAY.

How can i do it?

I tried to use Job but it has no sleep(timeout) . Besides Thread.sleep() will block my UI.

Solution I chose :
I added a key adapter to the outline page treeviewer and then maintain flags to indicate if the if the arrow keys are released then i trigger a selection.

In the selection listener of the treeviewer i check if the flags(arrowreleased = true && arrowpressed = false) then i trigger a selection, Also i trigger on keyReleased() method. It works now. Is there a way to achieve the same using Jobs/Scheduling?

Use Dspay.timerExec()?
