String from Problem's view

[Maanasa]

Guys,

Is there a way that I can access or capture the string from Problem's view.
For example when we import a project the problem's tab shows the number of warnings, errors etc(Eg string: 20 Erros, 23 Warnings)
Any thoughts?

Is the String what you really want or, more likely, do you actually want the problems themselves? If you want the problems themselves, check out this snippet:

Hope this helps!

Hi Phil,

I am sorry for the late reply.
How ever in expandProblemTree method TreeItem errorItem = (TreeItem) errorNode.getWidget(); is throwing that it is Wrong thread

Aha, right. SWT is particular about ensuring that UI elements are only properly accessed from the UI thread. To ensure this, you can pass a Runnable to the Display for execution. For example you'd want to wrap your call something like this:

Code: Select all

final TreeItem[] item = new TreeItem[1];
Display.getDefault().syncExec(
   new Runnable(){
       public void run(){
            item[0] = (TreeItem) errorNode.getWidget()     
       }
   });

Hope this helps!
