ModalContext.setAllowReadAndDispatch does not work correct as comment [message #1805769]

Hello everyone,

Currentlly, I am executing a job in the UI thread that takes a long time, but I don't what it to hand the UI.
So I use the ModalComtext.run(...) method to put the job into a non-UI thread, then I can click on the UI interface during the execution of this job.But I got exections that the widget is disposed.
I found out that this is because display.readAndDispatch is called in the method ModalComtextThread.block() to respond to the UI event. Then I use ModalContext.setAllowReadAndDispatch(false) first.
But the strange thing is that the job is now running in the UI thread, it will hang up the UI, this is not the result I expected. What should I do?

Best Regards

If you want to keep the UI responsive but is otherwise locked, such that it refreshes but doesn't accept interaction, then look at the Workbench's IProgressService. Alternatively you can use IWorkbenchWindow#run().

Hello Brian,

Many thanks for your suggestion. Both methods are effective for my case.
The difference I see is that if I select change 3 times, Workbench's IProgressService will respond to all job one by one, but IWorkbenchWindow#run() only responds to the first and last ones, and the second has been canceled. Right?

Best Regards,
