URGENT: Change Shell Text Dynamically [message #299127]

I'm trying to update the title text of my shell dynamically every second.
However, just calling shell.setText doesn't seem to work. In fact, it
appears to block on that call after the shell has been opened and packed.

Is there any way to dynamically, periodically change the title text of a
shell?

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Are you trying to change it from a different thread than the UI thread?
If so you should us display.asyncExec() to do the change.
