Hi,

My XWT UI Element implements the java.util.Observer class.

in the update method, I want to get the canvas element by calling XWT.findElementByName but it always returns null.

@Override
public void update(Observable o, Object arg) {
this.getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Canvas pitchCanvas = (Canvas) XWT.findElementByName(this, "PitchCanvas"); // RETURNS NULL
}
});

But if I call the same in the paint events it works:

public void onPaintEvent(Object object, Event event) {
Canvas pitchCanvas = (Canvas) XWT.findElementByName(this, "PitchCanvas"); // WORKS

Have any idea about the problem? Is it a bug?

You have to execute the code in the xwt realm, see:

XWT.getRealm().

Unfortunately, the result is the same by using the Realm like:

XWT.getRealm().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
