Hi Matthias,
Another option is to throttle the selection. Databinding has support for
that. Try this snippet:
import org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm;
import org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.sideeffect.ISideEffect;
import
org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.sideeffect.ISideEffectFactory;
import org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.value.IObservableValue;
import org.eclipse.jface.databinding.swt.DisplayRealm;
import org.eclipse.jface.databinding.swt.WidgetSideEffects;
import org.eclipse.jface.databinding.swt.typed.WidgetProperties;
import org.eclipse.jface.layout.GridDataFactory;
import org.eclipse.jface.layout.GridLayoutFactory;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridData;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Label;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;
/**
* This snippet shows how to use the {@link ISideEffect} class together
with a
* delayed IObservable with a {@link Text} widget. If text is entered the
side
* effect is triggered with a delay
*
* @since 3.2
*
*/
public class SnippetSideEffect50_DelayedUpdate {
/**
* @wbp.parser.entryPoint
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Realm.runWithDefault(DisplayRealm.getRealm(display), () -> {
// create the Task model object
final Shell shell = new View().createShell();
Display display1 = Display.getCurrent();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display1.readAndDispatch()) {
display1.sleep();
}
}
});
}
static class View {
private Text summaryText;
private Label resultLabel;
public Shell createShell() {
Display display = Display.getDefault();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
GridLayoutFactory.fillDefaults().applyTo(shell);
GridDataFactory gridDataFactory = GridDataFactory.fillDefaults().grab(true,
false);
Label label = new Label(shell, SWT.NONE);
label.setLayoutData(
new GridData(SWT.BEGINNING, SWT.CENTER, false, false));
label.setText("Wait for it....");
resultLabel = new Label(shell, SWT.NONE);
resultLabel.setText("");
gridDataFactory.applyTo(resultLabel);
// create a Text widget, which will be bound to the Task summary
summaryText = new Text(shell, SWT.BORDER);
gridDataFactory.applyTo(summaryText);
bindData();
// Open and return the Shell
shell.pack();
shell.open();
return shell;
}
private void bindData() {
ISideEffectFactory sideEffectFactory =
WidgetSideEffects.createFactory(summaryText);
// create the observables, which should be bound by the SideEffect
IObservableValue<String> textModifyObservable =
WidgetProperties.text(SWT.Modify).observeDelayed(1000,
summaryText);
sideEffectFactory.create(textModifyObservable::getValue, e -> {
resultLabel.setText(summaryText.getText());
});
}
}
}
