I'm currently designing a GUI, and I've been wanting to integrate a progress bar into it, but I'm uncertain of how to proceed.

I've played with the ProgressBar Class, and I've managed to make one appear in one of the GUI's tabs. However, what I want to do is have the progress bar pop up in its own window whenever the relevant action is launched. Several hours of googling later, I'm still not sure how to do that...Are there classes for opening additional windows?

Hi,

To open a new window you need to create a new Shell and open it (Shell.open()). You can create your progress bar within this shell.
These example snippets will be useful --
The first 4 snippets under Shell show different ways to opening a dialog --> http://eclipse.org/swt/snippets/#shell
Snippets to update progressbar --> http://eclipse.org/swt/snippets/#progressbar

HTH,
Lakshmi

Thanks a lot!
...Opening a new Shell had actually been one of the first solutions I'd tried, but I'd neglected to call open(). I wasn't certain why it wasn't working, and figured maybe only one Shell could be called at a given time... Embarrassed
