| How to make a Job show the reason why it is blocked? [message #273160] |

A User Job is very nice in that it shows a Progress Dialog and gives the
user the option to run it in the background. However, if the User Job
cannot be scheduled immediately because of schedule rule conflicts, it
doesn't put out a dialog that shows the reason and goes waits silently.
IProgressService.busyCursorWhile(...), on the other hand, does show the
reason why the task cannot start immediately, but is not as nice as a User
Job in reporting progress and providing flexibility to run in the
background. Ditto with IWorkspace.run(...).
How do I get the best of both worlds?
Thanks

I believe that the busyCursorWhile dialog just shows all the running
jobs and doesn't actually indicate which on is the blocking one.
Similarly, for user jobs, the dialog has a Details that shows all the
running jobs. The progress view also shows all the running jobs. I guess
the only difference with User jobs is that there is no visual clue as to
whether a running job is blocked by another job or is making progress.
You may want to log a feature request against Platform UI for this.
