Thread problem with JFace Tableviewer

[twittemb]

Hello,

here is my problem :

I'm trying to refresh a Tableviewer inside a run thread Method but it throws a SWT exception.

here is the global scheme :

An applicationWindow holds a table. I've got a process which is actually a thread. And in the Run method of this Thread i refresh the tableviewer content. But that throws an Exception.

Do someone have already face this problem an is there a solution ?

Thank you.

First: you did not published exception.
Second: SWT controls (and JFace too) can be accessed only from main thread. So, look at methods Display.syncExec() and Display.asyncExec() and use one of them in your thread every time when you want call refresh. But keep in mind that you should use them only when you realy need this, don't call Thread.sleep() or any other method that block execution on long period.

I believe that this is described in many SWT tutorials and articles.

Since you haven't yet stated what exception you encountered, that would be hard to say. When you say you "tried" our solution, what do you mean? You should post some sample code illustrating what you are trying to do.
