Hello,

In my application i am running Jobs which report progress (with subjobs).

therefore i configured my application to show the ProgressIndicator

configurer.setShowProgressIndicator(true);

this is nice, but it does not show me the subjobs nor the possibility to cancel a job!

further, iff i click on the button on the right of the progressIndicator nothing happens. in my ide a floating window pops up where i can see all running jobs and a cancel option.

what am i missing when i encounter this behaviour?
i guess its my fault by some misconfiguration or missing include.
so please enlight me.

thanks in advance

PS: tried to google but i am not sure what to google for (terms)

Indeed, very good.

I have both Googled it and searched within the Eclipse documentation.

This is the problem I've had all along with trying to get into RCP, and I've tried year on year for the last 3 years.... It assumes a great deal of knowledge of the lingo.

I think I'm up to speed now (Vogel as always seems to be the only person providing good beginners tutorials). Going to go practice them now.

Cheers.

(p.s. Most Google results are for 'jobs' doing eclipse development Wink
