Help! Dialog and SWT_AWT [message #458888] Mon, 25 July 2005 15:42 Go to next message

Hi, I've been trying to get a Dialog (or JDialog) to show modal in a
plugin but I can never get it to work ok, I've been searching this site
forever and just can't find the answer. The best I've got so far (which
still doesn't work well) is this:

Frame myFrame = new Frame(); //Create a frame
Dialog myDialog = new Dialog(myFrame)

Eclipse doesn't refresh properly either with this.

Can anybody explain to me what a composite is exactly. Seems like that may
be the answer to my problem. Does my plugin have a composite???

Thanks
Nic

are my other options? How can I open a Dialog or JDialog
(modal as much as possible) inside eclipse?

I am working from the plug-in sample and trying to use the
SWT_AWT class.

Anybody's got a code snippet for me or ideas?
I would really appreciate it!

Thanks
Nic

Hi,

I'm having the same problem. Need to show a modal Swing JDialog in my
eclipse application, but I can't get it to work properly.
Did you solve the problem yet?

Kind regards,

Dieter

Hi Dieter,

I'm close, I traced down the problem to the fact that passing true to modal
in the JDialog constructor makes the whole thing work like crap... dunno why
that is exactly. I suppose it's some bug.

If you set that to true, everything seems to work a lot better, except that
your dialog isn't modal anymore, you can click on eclipse in the background
and type stuff.
Now someone has suggested to create a SWT modal dialog (of size 0) at the
same time and close it as the JDialog closes... I'm just about to try that.
Hopefully that'll
work good.

Nic
