I was stuck on this for a while - to get the Progres Bar to show in a Wizard you need to add:

@Override
public boolean needsProgressMonitor()
{
return true;
}

To your Wizard.

I want to add a progress bar to my dialog, and control its progress through a Job. Can I do it? If yes, how?

Thanks,

Hi Prakash,

thanks for all of these hints. But what about using IProgressService which can be obtained by

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getProgressService()

Is there some specific reason why you did not mention that in your tip?
I have found the

busyCursorWhile (IRunnableWithProgress runnable)

method to be very handy at times.

Thanks again for your explanations!

Hey Dude!

Thanks! It's about time someone put out something on progress indicators. All those eclipse programmers with too much to do - no one's been able to explain it as simple as this.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Prakash,

The post is amazing.. I have a doubt. I'm stuck with it..The task which i am executing may take different time for finishing up each time. I tried your previous suggestion of using IProgressMonitor.Unknown.. It works good.. But in my case I want the progress to be displayed as continuous progress(as in normal cases) in the bar and not as the one moving from end to end. Any suggestions.. ?

@Anon,

Canceling is not notified with any events. Its up to the job to check the flat and perform the cancel.

I'm monitoring the progress of a job using the following:

Job job = new Job("My new job") {
protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) {
...
}
job.schedule();

Is it possible to be notified the moment the user presses the Cancel Button, rather than waiting until a monitor sub task is completed and responding to:

monitor.isCanceled()

Hi Prakash

dialog.run(true, false, new IRunnableWithProgress(){
public void run(IProgressMonitor monitor) {
onitor.beginTask("Sync", 100);
monitor.beginTask(".Please wait...", IProgressMonitor.UNKNOWN);
table.getItems();
monitor.done();
}
});

When i do this i get
Caused by: org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Invalid thread access

How can we acess other swt controls

ProgressMonitorDialog dialog = new ProgressMonitorDialog(Display.getDefault().getActiveShell());
try {
dialog.run(true, true, new IRunnableWithProgress(){
public void run(IProgressMonitor monitor) {
monitor.beginTask("Deployment in progress", 100);
// I want call a method (say Deployment) which takes lot of time( I dont know exactly how much)
// But it doesnt show me progress. Only i do call monitor.worked(work) it shows .

monitor.setTaskName("Deployment Completed.");
monitor.done();

2009-11-18T21:36:52.756+05:30

I found the problem. I had to add the following line to the contents of the method preWindowOpen() of my ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor:

configurer.setShowProgressIndicator(true);

Now I have another problem: nothing will happen when I click on the progress icon of the status line while the job is running. I was expecting the ProgressView to be brought to front, but I have to do that myself by clicking on the ProgressView tab :(.

Have you ever heard of that problem ?

Many thanks in advance,
Damien

2009-11-18T14:36:25.959+05:30

Thanks Prakash,

If I run the following lines of code in an editor:

this.miningJob = new MiningJob();
this.miningJob.setPriority(Job.LONG);
this.miningJob.setUser(true);
IWorkbenchSiteProgressService progressService = (IWorkbenchSiteProgressService)getSite().getService(IWorkbenchSiteProgressService.class);
progressService.schedule(this.miningJob);

the MiningJob will be scheduled and run, but nothing will appear in the status line. Do you know why ? Am I missing something ?

I don't think animated gif will work in the view's title image. You may have to cycle thru individual icons. Check Mylyn code, their editor seems to have that functionality
