Class ModalContext
run
method is executed in a separate thread, depending on the
value of the passed fork argument. If the runnable is executed in a separate
thread then the current thread either waits until the new thread ends or, if
the current thread is the UI thread, it polls the SWT event queue and
dispatches each event.
This class is not intended to be subclassed.

canProgressMonitorBeUsed
public static boolean canProgressMonitorBeUsed(IProgressMonitor monitor1, IProgressMonitor monitor2) Returns whether the first progress monitor is the same as, or a wrapper around, the second progress monitor.- Parameters:
monitor1
- the first progress monitormonitor2
- the second progress monitor- Returns:
true
if the first is the same as, or a wrapper around, the second- See Also:
-
checkCanceled
Checks with the given progress monitor and throwsInterruptedException
if it has been canceled.Code in a long-running operation should call this method regularly so that a request to cancel will be honored.
Convenience for:
if (monitor.isCanceled()) throw new InterruptedException();
- Parameters:
monitor
- the progress monitor- Throws:
InterruptedException
- if canceling the operation has been requested- See Also:
-
getModalLevel
public static int getModalLevel()Returns the modal nesting level.The modal nesting level increases by one each time the
ModalContext.run
method is called within the dynamic scope of another call toModalContext.run
.- Returns:
- the modal nesting level, or
0
if this method is called outside the dynamic scope of any invocation ofModalContext.run
-
isModalContextThread
Returns whether the given thread is running a modal context.- Parameters:
thread
- The thread to be checked- Returns:
true
if the given thread is running a modal context,false
if not
-
run
public static void run(IRunnableWithProgress operation, boolean fork, IProgressMonitor monitor, Display display) throws InvocationTargetException, InterruptedException Runs the given runnable in a modal context, passing it a progress monitor.The modal nesting level is increased by one from the perspective of the given runnable.
If the supplied operation implements
IThreadListener
, it will be notified of any thread changes required to execute the operation. Specifically, the operation will be notified of the thread that will call itsrun
method before it is called, and will be notified of the change of control back to the thread calling this method when the operation completes. These thread change notifications give the operation an opportunity to transfer any thread-local state to the execution thread before control is transferred to the new thread.- Parameters:
operation
- the runnable to runfork
-true
if the runnable should run in a separate thread, andfalse
if in the same threadmonitor
- the progress monitor to use to display progress and receive requests for cancellationdisplay
- the display to be used to read and dispatch events- Throws:
InvocationTargetException
- if the run method must propagate a checked exception, it should wrap it inside anInvocationTargetException
; runtime exceptions and errors are automatically wrapped in anInvocationTargetException
by this methodInterruptedException
- if the operation detects a request to cancel, usingIProgressMonitor.isCanceled()
, it should exit by throwingInterruptedException
; this method propagates the exception
-
setDebugMode
public static void setDebugMode(boolean debugMode) Sets whether ModalContext is running in debug mode.- Parameters:
debugMode
-true
for debug mode, andfalse
for normal mode (the default)
-
setAllowReadAndDispatch
public static void setAllowReadAndDispatch(boolean allowReadAndDispatch) Sets whether ModalContext may process events (by callingDisplay.readAndDispatch()
) while running operations. By default, ModalContext will process events while running operations. Use this method to disallow event processing temporarily.- Parameters:
allowReadAndDispatch
-true
(the default) if events may be processed while running an operation,false
if Display.readAndDispatch() should not be called from ModalContext.- Since:
- 3.2
