Hi,
I want to suspend the awt thread but still get painting done. Is this possible?
assume this piece of code:
actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
Runnable myRunnable = new MyRunnable();
Thread workerThread = new Thread( myRunnable );
workerThread.start();
// Wait here for workerThread to finish
// but still paint!
Oject o = myRunnable.getObject();
// do something with o
}
You are in the actionPerformed, so this gets executed on the awt thread. The workerThread starts with some lengthy operation and we want to wait in the actionPerformed for it to finish and then continue with our work. How do I do it?
kind regards,
Wim
