My suggestion would be to write your text to the control, then use callLater() to call the main method.

I think what is happening is that the string gets set to one thing and the call to your method is made (probably asynchronously), then the string is immediately set back. Possibly if you delayed the clearing of your string to an event handler that executes when your method is finished, that would be more effective. HTH; Amy
