Dear gurus,
Is there a way to post a high priority event to the UI event queue?
If I use Display.asyncExec(), the event is added to the end of the queue. What I would like is that my event to be processed ASAP, in front of already queued events.
Cheers,
Levente

Hi Levente,

There isn't a way to insert an asyncExec() block ahead of others in the
queue. The only way to make it run sooner than previously-posted blocks is
to syncExec() it instead, which runs it immediately in the UI thread.
