I would like to use a progress monitor that is non-modal and can be shrunk to the bottom-right of the status bar.
As far as I can tell from testing, ProgressMonitorDialog correctly displays the progress bar to the user, and can be made modal using the following code below. However there are no hooks to shrink it to the bottom-right of the status bar. The code kind of looks like this:
try {
ProgressMonitorDialog pmd = new ProgressMonitorDialog(shell){
@Override
protected void setShellStyle(int newShellStyle) {
super.setShellStyle(SWT.CLOSE | SWT.MODELESS|
SWT.BORDER | SWT.TITLE);
setBlockOnOpen(false);
}
};
pmd.run(true, true, new MyOperation());
} catch (final InvocationTargetException e) {
MessageDialog.openError(shell, "Error", e.getMessage());
} catch (final InterruptedException e) {
MessageDialog.openInformation(shell, "Cancelled", e.getMessage());
}
class MyOperation implements IRunnableWithProgress {
@Override
public void run(final IProgressMonitor monitor) throws
InvocationTargetException, InterruptedException {
monitor.beginTask("start task", 10);
// time consuming work here
doExpensiveWork(monitor);
monitor.done();
}
When I test with Job, the jobs run as expected but I get no visual feedback. My code is similar to this:
final ProgressBar progressBar = new ProgressBar(shell, SWT.SMOOTH);
progressBar.setBounds(100, 10, 200, 20);
// Setting the progress monitor
final IJobManager manager = Job.getJobManager();
final IProgressMonitor p = new IProgressMonitor() {
@Override
public void worked(final int work) {
sync.syncExec(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
progressBar.setSelection(progressBar.getSelection() + work);
}
});
//....
}
Job job = new Job("test") {
@Override
protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) {
monitor.beginTask("start task", 10);
// time consuming work here
doExpensiveWork(monitor);
// sync with UI
syncWithUI();
return Status.OK_STATUS;
}
};
job.setUser(true);
job.schedule();
What am I missing to be able to get a version of the ProgressMonitorDialog that can shrink to the bottom-right of the status bar when the user minimizes the tab?
