blockOnOpen = false for Wizards [message #491181]

Hey everybody,
i'm new to developing with the eclipse api and just created a wizard, which should be modal or blockOnOpen should be set to false.

Im opening the wizard with this command / handler:

public Object execute(final ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
		RecoveryWizard wizard = new RecoveryWizard();

[...]

		WizardDialog wizardDialog = new WizardDialog(PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getShell(),
			wizard);
		wizardDialog.setBlockOnOpen(false);
		wizardDialog.create();
		wizardDialog.open();

		return null;
	}

but somehow the wizard blocks eclipse (i can't change sth in the background).

I'm using eclipse galileo.

Thanks for your help,
Henning

Invoking Wizard's setBlockOnOpen(boolean) method has nothing to do with
whether the opened window will be modal or not.

According to the javadocs...

true if the open not return until the window closes, and false if the
open method should return immediately

....so as you can see, this is a matter of whether open() method returns
immediately or not (i.e. whether the thread is "stalled" or not). The
modality of a dialog/window is determined by its shell's style bits.

Sure there is but you need to subclass WizardDialog and in the
constructor call setShellStyle(SWT.SHELL_TRIM|SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL).

Hm, the constructor of WizardDialog already sets the application.modal flag:

public WizardDialog(Shell parentShell, IWizard newWizard) {
		super(parentShell);
		setShellStyle(SWT.CLOSE | SWT.MAX | SWT.TITLE | SWT.BORDER
				| SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL | SWT.RESIZE | getDefaultOrientation());
		setWizard(newWizard);
		// since VAJava can't initialize an instance var with an anonymous
		// class outside a constructor we do it here:
		cancelListener = new SelectionAdapter() {
			public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
				cancelPressed();
			}
		};
	}

also subclassing did not do the trick:

	private class ModalWizardDialog extends WizardDialog {

		public ModalWizardDialog(Shell parentShell, IWizard newWizard) {
			super(parentShell, newWizard);

			setShellStyle(SWT.SHELL_TRIM | SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL);
		}

	}

so you want it none modal? Then remove SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL and the
Shell doesn't block anything any more.
